Al Capone with his head enlarging mobster hat and the habitual cigar (around 1930)
–
No doubt that contemporary urban violence and horror are in large parts influenced by the image left from the numerous gangsters that roamed the city streets since early last century. The big kingpin of urban violence is of course the supreme mobster Don – the Godfather.
–
No don has done more for the mobster image than the original “Scarface”, Alphonse Gabriel Capone (1899-1947). Al Capone reigned supreme in Chicago from January 1925 when mafia chief Torrio handed over the reigns to Capone. After much violence and ins and outs with justice, Capone left a bloody trail of 33 bodies behind when he was ultimately sent away to Atlanta US Penitentiary in May 1932 to serve an 11-year sentence for tax evasion…
–
Capone was predictably aged 33 at the end of his 7 year reign over Chicago and weighed in heavy at 110kg upon incarceration. Responsible for multiple brothels, the big Don was not only overweight at this point, but also afflicted with several sexual deceases such as syphilis and gonorrhoea. He might have been considered a fuckalot by the standards of the interwar period.
–
Maybe Capone was at his outmost best when portrayed in the Godfather series of films (1972-90), most notably incarnated by Marlon Brando. Robert de Niro who also portrayed Al Capone as a youngster came across as way too thin compared to the beefy Capone. Brando with his chubby figure was a better fit as he equally shared some of Capone’s soft looks.
–
Al Capone is portrayed as scary from his facial scars (hence Scarface) and count of victims and even was elected public enemy n° 1 (Chicago 1930) – but Don Capone looked all but masculine when analysed anatomically with his short arms, small hands, close facial features, short mouth, full red lips, prominent eyelashes and shallow eyes. The Don seems a Donna and Al Capone part of the EGI as a female to male trickster.
I’m like any other man. I’ve been in this racket long enough to realize that a man in my game must take the breaks, the fortunes of war. I haven’t had any peace of mind in years. Every minute I’m in danger of death.”
-Alphonse Gabriel Capone
Not much seems to have changed since the time of the artificially created prohibition. The violence of todays terrorism seems as artificial as the glorified mobsters of the day, and the numerous films and lifetime actors likewise. If the Godfather is in reality a harmless, armless Donna, was any of the mobster violence even ever real ?

Al Capone in Miami – mid or late 1920s
•By judging Capone from the belly, arms and kid alone – anyone would expect this individual to be a pregnant woman (speculation here) – he/she has very short motherly arms indeed…
