Auction History Result 4d0388 KING OF THE WILD chapter 3 1sh 1931 art of man fighting leopard, The Avenging Horde, rare! Date Sold 5/3/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Chapter #3 (The Avenging Horde) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) King of the Wild, the 1931 B. Reeves Eason & Richard Thorpe Africa jungle adventure horror serial ("A Mascot Serial"; "An all-talking serial in twelve stirring chapters"; written by Ford Beebe) starring Walter Miller, Nora Lane, Dorothy Christy, Tom Santschi, Boris Karloff, Victor Potel, Carroll Nye, and Arthur McLaglen (as Bimi the Ape Man). Note that this movie was made prior to "Frankenstein", which resulted in Boris Karloff being fifth billed, and he is pictured on very few posters. Had the movie been released a year later, no doubt he would have been top billed! Also, this serial didn't start production with "all-talking" in mind, and some of the actors did not have very good speaking voiced and not much dialog was written. Though no one is actually credited, a great deal of narration was added to the serial in Post Production. It is generally thought that Boris Karloff (who had lots of stage experience) did all the voice-over narration. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that while we have auctioned one-sheets from several other chapters of this serial, we have only once before auctioned an example of this chapter 3 one-sheet, which has a great completely different image from the other chapters! The one we auctioned was sixteen years ago when it sold for $904. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has a few inches of separation at the right center horizontal fold and there is a vertical tear a few inches to the right of the center crossfold (see our image). It has some blank border loss at upper left but otherwise it is in pretty nice condition and after a pretty simple linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
