Auction History Result 8r203 TARZAN OF THE APES LC 1918 he's a young boy learning to swing from limbs & vines, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/16/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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!

Important Added Info: Note that many, many years ago, we auctioned a total of five scene cards from this first Tarzan movie (and some were hand colored, and some were not), but the last time we auctioned one was 18 years ago! Now we have been consigned this great scene card which is hand colored, and which also has the same image that was chosen for the one-sheet for this movie! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good. There is staining across the top and right of the card, with paper loss and deterioration in the right of the top blank border. There is small surface paper loss in the upper left of the image background, and a tiny bit in the background below that. In spite of the above defects, we would think most collectors could happily display this card as it is (because most of the defects are in the blank borders), or certainly restoration could be performed. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this card. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back!
