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. Also, there is a famous nude swimming scene with Jane but it was not actually Maureen O'Sullivan. She was apparently fine with the nudity but suffered from claustrophobia and couldn't bear to put her face under water, and so she was doubled by Olympic gold medal winner Josephine McKim. 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!

Important Added Info: Note that the 8x10 transparency in this auction (and 63 other 8x10 transparencies we are currently auctioning in separate auctions) is NOT one that was created by a studio and sent to to newspapers, magazines, TV stations, or reviewers, so that they could use them to create the highest quality ads. These 64 transparencies are of mostly classic movie posters, and they were surely created in the 1990s or later, surely by either an auction house that was auctioning these items, or by a collector who owned these items, and wanted the highest quality image made from that poster. They are NOT from when the movie was first made, but from MUCH later. Please bear this in mind before bidding on this transparency (and also bear in mind that there ARE over 300 transparency lots in this auction that ARE from when the movies were made, and were made by the studios). Each transparency is clearly marked as to which kind they are (and they are in separate sections in the auction, to make it less likely anyone could confuse them).

Even though this is not a vintage transparency, and was photographed after the movie came out from a poster, it can still be used to make very high quality reproductions, but bear in mind that we are solely auctioning the physical transparencies and NOT the right to reproduce them, so unless they are public domain, the new owner must acquire the rights elsewhere before reproducing them.
