An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Lobby Card (Learn More) Tarzan of the Apes, the 1918 Scott Sidney silent action adventure thriller ("The Wonder Story of the Age by Edgar Rice Burroughs") 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, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Condition: very good to fine. Other than a few extremely minor blank border defects, the card is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
