AI notes: Predator (1987) is a science fiction action film directed by John McTiernan and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch, the leader of an elite military rescue team. The story follows Dutch and his unit as they are sent on a mission into the Central American jungle, only to find themselves being hunted by a mysterious and deadly alien creature with advanced weaponry and cloaking technology. As the team is picked off one by one, Dutch must confront the Predator in a brutal showdown of survival. Known for its suspenseful atmosphere, groundbreaking visual effects, and iconic monster design, Predator became a major box office success and launched a long-running franchise.
Page 57 has a opening day ad for the opening day showing of "The Witches Of Eastwick" (see images) 
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.
Complete in 148 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
