After Dark: magazine of entertainment Series 1: vol. 13, #8, December, 1970 (actually vol. 3, #8)

New York: Dance Magazine, 1970. Magazine. 88p. including covers 8.5x11 inches, articles, features, reviews, listings, illustrated with b&w photos and ads, lightly-worn, otherwise a very good semi-glossy entertainment magazine in lightly-worn stapled pictorial wraps. Cover story on American Ballet Theatre, Factory Brothers (the Dallesandros) David Lean, etc.

This issue continues the mistaken volume number from issue #7. Likely they meant vol. 3 as by January 1971 the numbering was vol. 3, #9.

The numbering of the volumes is illogical in the beginning years up to about 1971. "After Dark" was originally "Ballroom Dance Magazine" (truncated) which ended with its volume 9, #4. The new magazine's first issue continued the numbering of the previous magazine and so issue #1 is stated as volume 10, #1. By the third year of the magazine they changed the numbering from volume 13 to volume 3, #9. A fine magazine of arts, stage, dance and music that bridged the gap between gay and straight readers in the 1970s-80s. (Inventory #: 189938)
