An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Chapter #4 ("Congo Bill Springs A Trap") One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Congo Bill, King of the Jungle, the 1948 Spencer Gordon Bennet & Thomas Carr Africa comic book character jungle safari action adventure serial ("Based upon the comic strip, 'Congo Bill', appearing in 'Action Comics' magazine, created by Whitney Ellsworth"; "A mad gorilla strikes!"; "By Arrangement with National Comics Publications, inc."; "From the company that gave you SUPERMAN... another super serial!"; "A Columbia Serial") starring Don McGuire (in the title role "as Congo Bill"), Cleo Moore (as the White Queen!), Jack Ingram, I. Stanford Jolley, Neyle Morrow, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (as the gorilla!). 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Glenn Cravath Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Columbia for use for all chapters of their "Congo Bill" serial. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle in the bottom left. They would be sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific chapters of the serial, and they could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. There were also stock posters from this serial that were overprinted with the names of the specific chapters, for theaters willing to purchase an entire set of them. This particular stock poster has an overprinted area. Condition: good to very good. There is separation and small paper loss at the crossfolds as well as some areas of tattering along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster (a few repaired with tape from the back).
