Auction History Result 3y1509 TARZAN OF THE APES 7.5x9.5 still 1918 great c/u of Elmo Lincoln & Enid Markey in jungle! Date Sold 3/14/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Tarzan of the Apes, the 1918 Scott Sidney silent action adventure thriller ("The Wonder Story of the Age by Edgar Rice Burroughs"; "1000 people 1000") starring Elmo Lincoln (in the title role as "the screen's first Tarzan"), Enid Markey (as the screen's first Jane), True Boardman, Kathleen Kirkham, Thomas Jefferson, Bessie Toner, George French, and Gordon Griffith (as young Tarzan). Note that this classic book had been written four years earlier, but that it took four years for Hollywood to figure out how to film this book (in those pre-special effects days they were unsure of how to have the apes, which do lots of talking in the book). Elmo Lincoln reprised his role as Tarzan in "The Return of Tarzan". Note that he is normally referred to as the very first screen Tarzan, but actually it is the actor who played Tarzan as a boy in this movie, Gordon Griffith, who deserves that distinction! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm]. Condition: good. The still was neatly trimmed to 7 1/2" x 9 1/2". There is much glue staining on the back (it was once glued to some kind of backing), but it has little effect on the front. The still has slightly changed to a sepia color. Despite the above defects, the still displays pretty well, and the chances of finding another example of this are next to zero!
