Date Sold 5/18/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 8 Original Vintage Theatrical Chapter #15 (The Prophecy of Gorn) Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Darkest Africa, the 1936 B. Reeves Eason & Joseph Kane jungle fantasy adventure serial ("A Republic Serial in 15 Episodes"; "Original story by John Rathmell and Tracy Knight"; about animal trainer Beatty helping a boy and his sister escape from a power-mad high priest in the lost city of Joba) starring Clyde Beatty ("World's Greatest Wild Animal Trainer"), Manuel King ("World's Youngest Wild Animal Trainer"; as Baru, son of the jungle!), Cole Bros Beatty Circus, Elaine Shepard, Lucien Prival, Wheeler Oakman, Edward McWade, and Ray 'Crash' Corrigan (in a dual role, as Bonga the gorilla and also as Samabi the guard!). 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. Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare complete set for a single chapter of this serial. Many years ago, collectors broke up what few complete sets survived and sold them by the card, so it is very unusual to find a complete set that is still intact! Condition: good. All the cards have darkened somewhat and all have some water staining scattered across the top, more so in the top center. It has only slightly discolored the fronts of the cards, except in the top blank border, and the cards are lightly rippled in the top center because of the water staining. There are pinholes, smudges, and stains around the edges of all the cards. Some of the scenes have a few stains or smudges within the image and a few have pencil marks. Obviously, these rare cards could be greatly improved through restoration, but please look closely at our super-sized images before bidding on these cards. Learn More about condition grades
