Note that this was the second RKO Tarzan, and once again, Maureen O'Sullivan could not be hired, because she was an MGM contract player, and RKO did not want to cast a "new" Jane, so they once again explained her absence by saying that she was away, working as a nurse for the British troops in World War II!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned this one-sheet, and that example sold for $497! What IS linenbacking?
