Page 83 has a advertisement for the grand premiere of "The Passion of Dracula", a off-Broadway play that lasted for 718 performances. This ad measures 7 x 5 inches. (see images)
Note: "The Passion of Dracula," written by Bob Hall and David Richmond, premiered off-Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theatre on September 28, 1977. The production ran for 718 performances.
The play was a reimagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula, with a focus on the Count's passion and the emotional impact of his actions on the victims. It was known for its unique staging and the way it explored the psychological depths of Dracula. The production received positive reviews, with some critics praising the balance between the awesome and the ridiculous.
The play was also notable for its small, intimate setting at the Cherry Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village. The production's success contributed to the ongoing interest in Dracula stories and their adaptation for the stage.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.

The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
