Walter Burns never acted at the Cino, but produced a play and a movie by JOSEF BUSH, both starrng BILL HAISLIP and ZITA LITVINAS.

Angel Jack and GEORGE HARRIS III (“Hibiscus”) in “Gossamer Wings,” Theater for the New City, 1972.

Candy Darling as Marilyn Monroe in some commercial production of TOM EYEN’s “The White Whore and The Bit Player.”

A very poor color shot of the same scene. I think the women’s face barely visible below the bald man’s head is Shami Chaikin.

THE OPEN THEATRE in JEAN-CLAUDE VAN ITALLIE’s The Serpent. I saw it at Joe Papp’s Public Theatre in, I suppose, 1968 or 1969, but I don’t know when or where this shot was taken. Visit Jean-Claude Van itallie’s picture-rich website HERE!

VICTOR LIPARI as the rock singer in my Joyce Dynel, The Old Reliable, 1970.
