An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 6" x 18" [15 x 46 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) Congorilla, the 1932 Osa & Martin Johnson Africa jungle safari documentary ("It is the thrill of your life!"; "The one and only talking picture entirely made in Africa!"; "Big apes and little people"; "Thrillingly penetrating the core of the world!") featuring "Mr. & Mrs. Martin Johnson". Note that Osa Johnson was married to Martin Johnson, and that they made African documentary movies for 20 years, but Martin Johnson was killed in 1937 during the filming of "Borneo", but his wife finished the movie and released it after his death, and she also released one final movie, "I Married Adventure", in 1940, three years after her husband's death, and on that movie, she was billed as "Osa Johnson (Mrs. Martin Johnson)". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this herald. That example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned, and while we can't say for sure, we would think that one side of it pictures the 24-sheet, and the other side has unusual art of two apes fighting. Note that we were recently consigned an excellent collection of heralds! We auctioned the first 30 of these in our April Major Auction, and all but four of those sold for between $2,012 and $110! Now we continue with another 30 heralds from this collection (in 30 separate auctions), and we will continue auctioning 30 of them every four weeks until they are all auctioned. There is only one of each herald, and many of them are quite rare, so if you don't purchase one, it may be many years before you see it at auction again! Condition: good.
