Blown up from tiny images in snapshots of the 1985  Lincoln Center Exhibit of Caffe Cino material, taken by JAMES D. GOSSAGE. Colors are distorted by the Exhibit lighting and images and words blurred by enlargement.

Some images are just too small to retrieve. Photo of Lincoln Center Exhibit 1985 by James D. Gossage.

Poster for unidentified show. Figure in photograph greatly resembles CHARLES STANLEY. (The words under the photograph could be “Vistas of the Heart Unveiled,” a work by Stanley and PETER HARTMAN, March 1966)

KENNY BURGESS POSTER FOR “EYEN ON EYEN,” written and directed by TOM EYEN, featuring CHARLES STANLEY, HELEN HANFT, MARI-CLAIR CHARBA, JACQUE LYNN COLTON, and CAROL SILON, music performed by WALTER HARRIS. August, 1966.

Poster perhaps for H.M. KOUTOUKAS’ “With Creatures Make My Way,” featuring the name of CHARLES STANLEY in lettering not unlike BURGESS’. The play played the Cino in May, 1965, but there is no mention of Stanley serving any function in it. This may be for another theatre, or Stanley during his term managing the Cino may have revived it.

Poster for unidentified show. The image at lower left might be CHARLES STANLEY. Possibly by BURGESS.

Poster for DAVID STARKWEATHER’s “So Who’s Afraid of Edward Albee.” This play played the Cino in February/March 1963 and September 1966. This is probably for the 1963 production. See a bad view of the 1966 window poster by KENNY BURGESS HERE.

BURGESS poster for LANFORD WILSON’s “The Madness of Lady Bright,” directed by the author, setting by JOE DAVIES, lighting by JOHN DODD, starring NEIL FLANAGAN, FRED FORREST, and BRANDY CARSON. March, 1967. Somewhat resembles a poster for an earlier production done by JIM PERKINSON.

KENNY BURGESS poster for TOM EYEN’s “WHo Killed My Bald Sister Sophie,” directed by NEIL FLANAGAN, setting by JOSEF BUSH, lighting by JOHN DODD, and featuring HELEN HANFT, CONNIE CLARK, and STEVE DAVIS. February, 1968.

A fragment of the same poster from another snapshot, perhaps showing something nearer the actual colors.

Apparently a special poster made for display at the Exhibit by KENNY BURGESS, featuring terms of Cino slang such as “mala,” “cobra,” and “Rockettes.” March, 1985.
