Auction History Result w200 KING OF THE WILD 7 Chap 2 movie lobby cards '31 jungle serial! Date Sold 11/7/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 7 Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #2 ("The Tiger of Destiny") Movie Lobby Cards (measure 11" x 14") (Learn More) King of the Wild, the 1931 B. Reeves Eason & Richard Thorpe Africa jungle adventure horror serial ("A Mascot Serial"; "An all-talking serial in twelve stirring chapters"; written by Ford Beebe) starring Walter Miller, Nora Lane, Dorothy Christy, Tom Santschi, Boris Karloff, Victor Potel, Carroll Nye, and Arthur McLaglen (as Bimi the Ape Man). Note that this movie was made prior to "Frankenstein", which resulted in Boris Karloff being fifth billed, and he is pictured on very few posters. Had the movie been released a year later, no doubt he would have been top billed! Also, this serial didn't start production with "all-talking" in mind, and some of the actors did not have very good speaking voiced and not much dialog was written. Though no one is actually credited, a great deal of narration was added to the serial in Post Production. It is generally thought that Boris Karloff (who had lots of stage experience) did all the voice-over narration. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

IN THIS SPECIAL HALLOWEEN AUCTION, we have given a more detailed overall condition grade along with more details about the condition described in words. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, plus there are some defects (like separation on folds, tape on the back, extremely tiny pinholes, etc) which can be VERY difficult to see, even in our largest "super-sized" image.
