An Original Vintage Local Theater Herald (measures 3 1/2" x 8" [9 x 20 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) a 1934 local theater herald advertising the complete program for the week starting on March 30th at the Capital Theatre in New York City, which included: Tarzan and His Mate, the 1934 Cedric Gibbons, James C. McKay, & Jack Conway romantic action jungle adventure fantasy thriller ("Johnny Weissmuller is back again!"; "It's new!"; "Based upon the characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Maureen O'Sullivan (as Jane), Neil Hamilton, Paul Cavanagh (billed as "Paul Cavanaugh"), Forrester Harvey, and Ray Corrigan (as an uncredited gorilla!). Note that many feel that this movie is superior to the first movie in the series, 1932's "Tarzan the Ape Man", because that movie contained a huge amount of introductory material and focused on characters other than Tarzan and Jane. This movie focuses almost exclusively on Tarzan and Jane, including the sequence where O'Sullivan swims naked underwater (which can be viewed on YouTube!). Interestingly, there were three versions of this scene, one with her traditional costume, one topless, and one completely nude. This was done so that individual U.S. states could select the version to be shown, but the entire scene was eventually removed due to protests from conservative religious groups (the nude version has been restored to modern releases of the film). Also 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! AND Riptide, the 1934 Edmund Goulding romantic love triangle infidelity melodrama ("When a Woman Loves"; about a rich American woman who marries an English Lord, and when they vacation separately, she runs into her former boyfriend, and he acts inappropriately, which causes her husband to start divorce proceedings, even though she was innocent) starring Norma Shearer, Robert Montgomery, Herbert Marshall, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Richard 'Skeets' Gallagher, and Marilyn Spinner (billed as "Baby Marilyn Spinner") AND shorts and live musical events NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
