An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Chapter #3 (Bat-Men of Joba) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that Republic at this time would, for their serials, create a one-sheet for the entire serial, as well as a poster for some of the individual chapters, which had full art and are some of the most striking serial posters ever created! They are also incredibly rare, and sell for high prices. We have only previously auctioned this chapter 3 one-sheet one time, and that was 19 years ago, when it sold for $3,401! Condition: very good. The poster has tiny pinholes in the corners. It has 10 tiny pinholes in the bottom center and around 20 tiny pinholes in the top center. It was folded in half an extra time. Other than the above, the poster is in nice condition, and after a simple linenbacking, it will display incredibly! Learn More about condition grades
