Auction History Result 3g0484 AFRICA SPEAKS 5 LCs 1930 jungle documentary, really cool wildlife image, ultra-rare! Date Sold 2/6/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 5 Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Africa Speaks!, the 1930 Walter Futter jungle safari wild animal documentary ("The strangest romance ever filmed!"; "Thrilling adventure in the unexplored regions of Equatorial Africa"; "Produced by the Colorado African Expedition, Inc.") featuring Paul Hoefler (who was the man who went to Africa, and who wrote a book of the same name about his experiences), Harald Austin, Charles Gemora (as a gorilla), and narrated by Lowell Thomas. Note that this movie was first released by Columbia Pictures in 1930, but was then re-released by Mascot at some point in the 1930s, and then by Sack Amusements in 1942 (no doubt the movie proved popular in small towns, likely because it contained the obligatory topless native women, that almost all similar movies contained). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this movie was initially released by Columbia Pictures in 1930, but then then Mascot re-released it in the 1930s. A similar situation exists with "The Blonde Captive". We suspect that when Columbia was a struggling studio in 1930, they released all sorts of exploitation movies like these, but when they achieved great success with the Frank Capra movies and others, they sought to end releasing these kinds of movies! However, it is interesting to note that ANY lobby cards from this movie, original or re-release, are incredibly rare! We have only auctioned two first release scene cards and two re-release cards for the movie. Condition: very good. The cards are in pretty nice condition and they have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
