"Amazing Colossal Man" Rampages Las Vegas & Sands

I collect movie lobby cards with gambling themes. This one doesn't exactly fit the bill, but I couldn't resist buying it. 1957 movie. Can anyone figure out who is listed under Danny Thomas -- looks like Augie (Angie?) & Margo (Marco, Marge?)?

Army colonel Langan is exposed to massive amounts of radiation after a nuclear experiment backfires. Unexpectedly, he is not killed, but his body chemistry is altered, causing him to grow at the rate of 10 feet per day. When he reaches the height of 70 feet, the radioactivity seems to affect Langan's brain too, and he begins to wreak havoc on nearby Las Vegas. Not simply looking for a jumbo-sized poker game, the colossal man is finally killed in a rather exciting conclusion at Boulder Dam. One of the first atomic mutation horror films of the fifties, it is also one of the most absurdly entertaining. The scenes detailing Langan's growth and his attack on Vegas are quite memorable.
