six sheet, what is a six sheet worth? Is there many around?
Hi Dale, just venture into Bruce's marvelous eMovieposter.com website and search for Adventures Of Tarzan ( '21 ) three- sheet and six-sheet and you will be pleasantly surprised.
Do you have to have a large poster / s per chance ?
You can also search U.S. 3-sheets and six-sheets without using a specific film name, to see what other titles are available in these sizes, and what they did originally sell for?
I recently watched on Austalian Foxtel pay television Tarzan Revisited ( 2017 ). Anyone interested in Tarzan should find this documentary informative, as well as being very entertaining. The film covers the origins of Tarzan in various medias and finishes with The Legend Of Tarzan film released in 2016. Of special interest are the great number of Tarzan film posters displayed, if only fleetingly.
The film is copyrighted Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc, Lowlands media 2016. Also involved are Screen Australia and French Connection Films. The documentary has some great interviews with surviving actors who played Tarzan, Due to the Edgar Rice Burroughs involvement the access to film and other Tarzan related material is impressive.

What does make the displayed poster interesting to me is that the main image shows Johnny Weissmuller with Brenda Joyce. All the numerous original release posters of this film appearing on Bruce's website and the below original U.S A. pressbook page show Acquanetta's Leopard Woman character as being the main female image. There are no images of Brenda Joyce's Jane anywhere to be seen on any original release U.S. posters, with the exception of appearing on lobby cards and 8 x 10's.
John) (Wil) An Australian daybill of Tarzan And The Slave Girl (1950), and a second version of a similar poster with an added Matinee snipe applied to it. t One has to wonder which Tarzan film or films this poster was used to promote. Was it a permanent poster used as a stock poster for various different Tarzan films screening at matinees over many years, or was it just used for Tarzan And the Slave Girl having a misjudged placement of the matinee snipe perhaps?
The award for most seen and available Tarzan Australian daybill has to be awarded to Tarzan And The Slave Girl. Bruce alone has auctioned twenty copies over the years,
No way Johnny Weissmuller was the original Tarzan. He might have been the best but not the first!
You are spot on John with your response.
The first actor who played Tarzan on screen was Elmo Lincoln in the silent feature film Tarzan of The Apes in 1918. Other actors during the silent 1920's period who played the role in feature films and serials were Gene Pollar P. Dempsey Tabler, James Pierce and Frank Merrill.
The last released Tarzan film during the 1920's was in 1929 with Tarzan The Tiger a silent serial, It would appear it had music and synchronized sound effects added before it was released.
Elmo Lincoln the original Tarzan.
Johnny Weissmuller was the first actor to play Tarzan in a 100% sound film in Tarzan The Ape Man in 1932.
There is a photo of most of the actors who played Tarzan all pictured together. I think it was taken with Merv Griffen but havent been able to find it. It would be good if someone could post the photo here.

Yes a number of actors who had previously played Tarzan did appear together on the Merv Griffin show. Although there are some images to be found on Google they are from Getty Images, and I don't post anything credited with their watermatk.
On saying that I did find the following three great images, with the third image showing six of the Tarzan actors

Was it Stellan Windrow? Or Elmo's stunt double Frank Merrill who appeared first on screen? Perhaps swinging through the tress? I haven't seen it so don't know.

All the numerous located crediting of the first actor to have played Tarzan on screen is for Elmo Lincoln. to be that person.
I am fascinated to hear what you have to say then Bruce.
Elmo Lincoln 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 because he appears onscreen before Lincoln does!

They certainly knew how to effectively advertise big time outside of the theatres in that period of time.

This Tarzan's Secret Treasure 1950's re-release daybill poster has an inaccurate statement printed on it. Anyone care to comment?

Gene Pollar and James Pierce two actors who don't fit the Tarzan image, at least to me anyway.
