Item # 701212

May 26, 1980

THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, May 26, 1980

* The Empire Strikes Back - Star Wars: Episode V
* Opening week film review and movie advertisement

* "The Shining" opening week advertisement
* Jack Nicholson psychological horror
* Third week for "Friday the 13th" ad


Page 48 has a nice advertisement for the opening of "Star Wars, The Empire Strikes" ( see images) And page 50 has a review for the film under: "What Empire?" with related photo.
Page 51 has a nice ad for the opening day for the movie "The Shining" (see images) Being a weekly publication, these ads are for the opening day. I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
Complete in 100+ pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, generally in nice condition.

Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.
