Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (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!

Condition: very good to fine. the poster has light extra creases as if it had been folded in half an extra time, but there are two sets of creases on each side and they are slightly diagonal. But those creases are very light and barely noticeable; there are several pinholes in each corner within the edges of the image; there is tiny separation (with the tiniest paper loss) at the top two crossfolds and 1" of separation with tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold; The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! The image area of the poster is in nice unrestored condition (there is not a piece of tape anywhere on the poster), and the colors are bright and the paper is crisp and not at all fragile. Its defects are minor and would vanish if it were linenbacked and the poster would look wonderful!
