An Original Undated (probably 1970s) Vintage Theatrical Folded Pakistani Movie Poster (measures 28" x 38") (Learn More) Call of the Savage, the 1935 Lew Landers (billed as "Louis Friedlander") Africa jungle adventure thriller serial ("12 Chapters of Daring Adventures"; "From Otis Adelbert Kline's Argosy Magazine Story 'Jan of the Jungle'"; "The Amazing Jungle Thriller!"; about two doctors in Africa trying to find a cure for polio, and one wants to help the world and the other wants the $500,000 prize offered to whoever finds the cure) starring Noah Beery Jr. (billed as "Noah Beery Jr. of 'Tailspin Tommy'"), Dorothy Short, Walter Miller, Harry Woods, John Davidson, Bryant Washburn, William Desmond, Fred MacKaye, Russ Powell, and Jack Leonard (as the man in the gorilla suit). Note that Jack Leonard was one of the first men to play gorillas in movies. He was an extra in Tarzan the Ape Man, and the director did not like the way the men in ape suits were performing, and Jack Leonard said he could do better, and he was given the part! He and his wife made his gorilla suit and he studied real life gorillas to see how they moved and the sounds they made. He appeared in a dozen movies between 1932 and 1940, nine times of them as an ape! We don't know what happened to him after that (perhaps he passed away). If anyone knows more about Jack Leonard, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that Ray 'Crash' Corrigan and Charles Gemora were two actors who played lots of gorillas in movies in the 1930s and 1940s. Emil Van Horn and Jack Leonard each played around a dozen gorillas, and interestingly, that was all they did (no doubt all four of them owned a gorilla suit!).
