‘My Three Angels’ Coming to Globe
Southwestern Jewish Press, March 18, 1955, Page 3
“My Three Angels,” the hilarious comedy by Sam and Bella Spewack, will open at the Globe Theatre in Balboa Park on April 4th.
Cast in the leading roles will be John Barlow, a newcomer to the Globe, Miller Bushway and Don Robinson. Three other newcomers in the cast are Art Bucaro, Wm. Quigley and the ingénue Cynthia Harrison.
Another “star” who will not be seen by the public is Robt. Jillson, who in spite of illness, is building by remote control the unusual set required.
The story is about three convicts who find themselves in a position to do some good and proceed to do it in their unique and unorthodox ways. A perfect blue-chasing play
