A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" [9 x 11 cm]; 153 pages) (Learn More) The Lost Jungle, the 1934 Armand Schaefer & David Howard (billed as "Dave Howard") safari action adventure serial ("The greatest aggregation of wild beasts ever assembled for a motion picture"; "A Mascot Super-Serial") starring Clyde Beatty ("World's Greatest Animal Trainer"), ("and an all-star cast") Cecilia Parker, Mickey Rooney, Syd Saylor, Warner Richmond, Edward LeSaint, Hal Taliaferro, Sammy the Killer Lion, and the Hagenbeck-Wallace wild animals! Note that Mascot did something REALLY unusual with this serial! In addition to the regular 12 chapter version, they also released a second version where the first chapter was seven reels long, and that was followed by ten regular chapters. They told theaters that they could release this second version as a serial with a feature length first chapter, or they could simply show the seven reel first chapter as a feature on its own, because it was designed to work as a stand-alone movie (and it contained footage not seen in the regular twelve chapter serial version). Also note that there is something really cool about this movie! Mickey Rooney, who was 13 years old, played a juvenile in this, and Cecilia Parker, who was 20, played the "love interest". Just three years later, they would be cast as Andy Hardy and Marion Hardy, brother and sister, in the greatest series of "family" movies ever, the Andy Hardy movies!

Important Added Info: Note that in the 1930s, The Saalfield Publishing Company published "Little Big Books", which were similar to Whitman Publishing's "Big Little Books", and "Better Little Books". All of these were tiny books that each had an image on one side and text on the other. They were mostly aimed at children and teenagers, and often were adapted from comic strips, comic books, movies, etc. Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads, which should greatly help you judge the condition of this book. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
