Auction History Result 7p0702 KING OF THE WILD chapter 9 1sh 1931 cool stone litho of half-man half-ape behind bars! Date Sold 2/16/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Chapter #9 (The Door of Dread) 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. Condition: good to very good. The poster has minor separation at the top crossfold and that was once backed by tape. There is separation and paper loss at the bottom crossfold and lower vertical foldline (see our image). There are some partial horizontal creases in the credits area but the art is in pretty nice condition and after linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
