The 'stage-play edition' was issued to coincide with the hugely successful stage adaptation of Stoker's classic of horror (originally published in 1897) which took to the Broadway stage in 1927, and starred Bela Lugosi in his first major English-speaking role, with Edward Van Sloan as his nemesis Dr Van Helsing; both actors were to reprise these roles for the 1931 film version.
