A 1949 Re-Release (re-titled "King of Jungleland" for this re-release) Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Darkest Africa, the 1936 B. Reeves Eason & Joseph Kane jungle fantasy adventure serial ("A Republic Serial in 15 Episodes"; "Original story by John Rathmell and Tracy Knight"; about animal trainer Beatty helping a boy and his sister escape from a power-mad high priest in the lost city of Joba) starring Clyde Beatty ("World's Greatest Wild Animal Trainer"), Manuel King ("World's Youngest Wild Animal Trainer"; as Baru, son of the jungle!), Cole Bros Beatty Circus, Elaine Shepard, Lucien Prival, Wheeler Oakman, Edward McWade, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (in a dual role, as Bonga the gorilla and also as Samabi the guard!). Note that Crash Corrigan made a REALLY wise investment in the 1930s, when he bought a "gorilla suit". In many of the movies in the 1940s where there is a fake gorilla, it is played by Crash Corrigan, no doubt because he could supply the suit! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The covers are almost completely separated and the spine and most pages are separating at the left and right ends of the horizontal fold. Otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
