Add 7cm (3in) for Second Base THE TARZAN LEGACY: ORIGIN OF “TARZAN, KING OF THE APES” TARZAN, the surviving just-born infant son of shipwrecked and deceased British Lord and Lady Greystock, was adopted, nursed and raised by a large female Ape to replace the infant son she had just lost. TARZAN, growing up in a tribe of Great Apes, became “King of the Apes” and “Lord of the Jungle”. TARZAN was created by the American Novelist / Writer Edgar Rice Burroughs and first appeared in Burroughs’ 1912 novel “Tarzan of the Apes”, over 100 years ago. The Book was an instantaneous success, establishing TARZAN as the World’s most popular hero, from his creation in 1912 to this present day, dominating 23 sequential TARZAN novels, over 60 silent and sound films, Animation, Animé, Stage, Radio, Television and Video Games. TARZAN LIVES! EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS’ 24 TARZAN NOVELS Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote 23 sequel TARZAN novels from 1912 through 1949. His books have been even more popular with adults and children than any other novelist, including J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series. TARZAN MOVIES (1918 – 2014) Following the 1912 publication of “Tarzan of the Apes”, the first TARZAN Movie by that name was launched in Silent Film in 1918. Eight TARZAN silent film feature movies followed from 1918 to 1928. Thereafter, over 48 TARZAN full feature sound movies were produced and viewed by packed Cinemas. Many Actors have played TARZAN (Elmo Lincoln, Lex Barker, Buster Crabbe, Gordon Scott, Jock Mahoney, Mike Henry and Ron Ely, to name a few). But the Olympic 5-time-Gold-Medalist Swimmer JOHNNY WEISSMÜLLER made TARZAN his trademark, starting with “Tarzan the Ape Man” (1932) co-starring Maureen O’Sullivan as “Jane”. Weismüller starred as the “Ape Man” in a total of TWELVE TARZAN films from 1932 through 1948, making him the most famous and longest-lasting screen TARZAN. Weismüller’s yodel-like “Tarzan Yell” (the Victory Cry of the Bull Ape) became so associated with the character that it was dubbed into later films featuring different actors in order to make them “believable”. Warner Brothers and producer Jerry Weintraub have had a new Tarzan live-action film in development since 2003 and it is expected to be produced in 2014. TARZAN LIVES! A number of derivative Full Feature Foreign Language TARZAN productions are currently rolling out from Spain, China, Turkey, India and the Philippines. TARZAN LIVES!

  • Author-As-Franchise-Product: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc and Tarzan As Historical Branded Entertainment
    53 Chapter 3 Author-as-Franchise-Product: Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc and Tarzan as Historical Branded Entertainment Matthew Freeman University of Nottingham, UK ABSTRACT This chapter explores the historical relationship between the branded media entertainment of Tarzan and the rise of consumer culture in the 1920s and 1930s. It argues that the transmedia licensing of this property across pulp magazines, comics, and radio reflected the growing embrace of brand-franchise logics throughout the business landscape of America at that time. I offer the metaphor of ‘stepping stones’ to understand the brand linkages between these different media products in which consumption of one product led to the consumption of another. More importantly, I analyse the function of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs and his company, suggesting that his visibility as franchise-author played a crucial role in constructing these brand linkages between media products. Contextualised as part of the very different cultural landscape of 1920s and 1930s consumer culture, I demonstrate how an autho- rial name operated commercially as much as a corporatised component of the branded entertainment products of Tarzan as the Tarzan character himself. INTRODUCTION By 1975, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., a family-owned corporation founded in March 1923, was reported to be earning in the region of $1 million annually from the sales of texts and products based on the fic- tional character Tarzan. ‘The world-wide gross of Tarzan products sold under license to us is at least $50 million a year,’ asserted Robert M. Hodes, the man in charge of the Tarzan empire at that time (The New York Times, 1975, p.

  • The Jungle Tales of Tarzan
    The Jungle Tales Of Tarzan Written in 1919 by Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) This version originally published in 2005 by Infomotions, Inc. This document is distributed under the GNU Public License. 1 2 Table of contents Chapter 1 - Tarzan's First Love Chapter 2 - The Capture of Tarzan Chapter 3 - The Fight for the Balu Chapter 4 - The God of Tarzan Chapter 5 - Tarzan and the Black Boy Chapter 6 - The Witch-Doctor Seeks Vengeance Chapter 7 - The End of Bukawai Chapter 8 - Lion Chapter 9 - The Nightmare Chapter 10 - Battle for Teeka Chapter 11 - A Jungle Joke Chapter 12 - Rescues the Moon 3 4 Chapter 1 - Tarzan's First Love Teeka, stretched at luxurious ease in the shade of the tropical forest, presented, unquestionably, a most alluring picture of young, feminine loveliness. Or at least so thought Tarzan of the Apes, who squatted upon a low-swinging branch in a near-by tree and looked down upon her. Just to have seen him there, lolling upon the swaying bough of the jungle-forest giant, his brown skin mottled by the brilliant equatorial sunlight which percolated through the leafy canopy of green above him, his clean-limbed body relaxed in graceful ease, his shapely head partly turned in contemplative absorption and his intelligent, gray eyes dreamily devouring the object of their devotion, you would have thought him the reincarnation of some demigod of old. You would not have guessed that in infancy he had suckled at the breast of a hideous, hairy she-ape, nor that in all his conscious past since his parents had passed away in the little cabin by the landlocked harbor at the jungle's verge, he had known no other associates than the sullen bulls and the snarling cows of the tribe of Kerchak, the great ape.

  • Genuneit Tarzan Vor 100 Jahren
    Jürgen Genuneit Aaaaaihaihaaaaihaihaaaaa! Vor 100 Jahren lernte Tarzan lesen und schreiben „Aaaaaihaihaaaaihaihaaaaa!“ – sicherlich haben Sie diesen Schrei gleich als den berühmten Tarzanschrei erkannt und erinnern sich zurück an die Tarzan-Comics Ihrer Jugend, an die Tarzanfilme mit Johnny Weismüller und Lex Barker oder an die Disney-Verfilmung und vielleicht an einen der 26 Tarzan- Romane des Amerikaners Edgar Rice Burroughs. Aber wie Tarzan lesen und schreiben gelernt hat, daran erinnert sich meistens kaum einer. Tarzans unglaubliche Lese- und Schreiblerngeschichte steht in dem ersten Band der Romanserie „Tarzan bei den Affen", der vor genau hundert Jahren im September/Oktober 1912 zum ersten Mal erschienen ist. Tarzan war bekanntlich als Säugling von den Affen geraubt und großgezogen worden. Von ihnen lernte er auch die Affensprache, die lediglich auf einer reduzierten mündlichen Basis bestand. Auf seinen Streifzügen durch den Dschungel entdeckt der Zehnjährige die Hütte seines Vaters und dort findet er eine Fibel. Mit Hilfe der Bilder und der Bildunterschriften, deren Buchstaben er zunächst für „eine seltene Art Käfer" hält, bringt er sich selbst das Lesen bei, was ihm bei denjenigen Abbildungen, die er aus der Dschungelwelt kennt, leichter gelingt als bei „Eisenbahn" oder „Schiff" – eine wichtige Bestätigung des in der Erwachsenenalphabetisierung angewandten Spracherfahrungsansatzes, der die Alltagserfahrung des Lernenden zum Ausgangspunkt des Lese- und Schreiblernprozesses macht. Insgesamt braucht Tarzan fünf, in der Comic- Version

  • First Sound Cachet” by Gladys West-Jones
    The Making of the “First Sound Cachet” By Gladys West-Jones As a child growing up in the deep south of Natchez, Mississippi, I recall that there weren’t a lot of televisions in the black community, and the one we had was black and white. This was an era when playing outside, making up games, and smelling like sunshine were the epitome of being a kid. You see, I was a tomboy who loved the outdoors and climbing trees. I also loved watching TV, and one of my favorite shows was “Tarzan”. I never missed an episode. When I learned that the Edgar Rice Burroughs stamp was being issued, and that he was the creator of “Tarzan”, my motivation for making a cachet was as strong as a rabid dog. As my mentor, Florence “Via” Villaseñor, has taught me, before you make a cachet, you study your subject by doing a lot of research. So, that’s what I did. I wanted to capture in my cover the essence of Tarzan, the “King of the Jungle”. With all that I wanted to do, I realized that it would take more than one cover. I started with wanting to know all of the actors who played Tarzan on television and in the movies. I discovered that there were 23. So I decided to write about all of them including where they are today. Second, I wanted to know more about Edgar Rice Burroughs. Having just seen the movie “John Carter of Mars”, and hearing the advertisers say that it took Burroughs 100 years to produce, I wanted to know what else Burroughs had accomplished.

  • Lie of the Jungle: the Trut
    Lie of the Jungle: The Truth About Cheeta the Chimpanzee http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/25/A... Lie of the Jungle He had the chance to write the biography of Cheeta, known as the world's oldest and most famous chimp. But his research led him into serious monkey business. By R.D. Rosen Sunday, December 7, 2008; W14 In the fall of 2007, I had been working for several months on a proposal for the authorized biography of Cheeta, Johnny Weissmuller's sidekick in MGM's Tarzan movies of the 1930s and '40s. Against all odds, Cheeta was still alive at the age of 75, 20 years older than a captive chimp's normal life span. When the agent for Cheeta and his owner, Dan Westfall, had first approached me about writing the biography, I was astonished that a fixture of not just my own childhood, but my parents', as well, one of the most celebrated animals in movie history, was retired in Palm Springs, Calif., selling his paintings for $135 donations to thousands of far-flung admirers. His birthday parties were now covered by national, and even international, media. At Cheeta's 75th birthday party, his owner, who runs a non-profit primate sanctuary, had played a video of Jane Goodall attempting to sing "Happy Birthday" to him in the pant-hooting language of the wild chimps she had first observed in Tanzania in the early 1960s. Could there be higher tribute to a chimp than that? I was too absorbed in the many fascinating aspects of my research -- the history of men and their captive chimps, the early days of Hollywood animal training, the evolution of the Tarzan franchise, newspaper clips about Cheeta, not to mention a meeting with the fading star himself -- to indulge any incipient doubts about Cheeta's true identity.

  • The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I The Tarzan Series of Edgar Rice Burroughs: Lost Races and Racism in American Popular Culture James R. Nesteby Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy August 1978 Approved: © 1978 JAMES RONALD NESTEBY ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ¡ ¡ in Abstract The Tarzan series of Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950), beginning with the All-Story serialization in 1912 of Tarzan of the Apes (1914 book), reveals deepseated racism in the popular imagination of early twentieth-century American culture. The fictional fantasies of lost races like that ruled by La of Opar (or Atlantis) are interwoven with the realities of racism, particularly toward Afro-Americans and black Africans. In analyzing popular culture, Stith Thompson's Motif-Index of Folk-Literature (1932) and John G. Cawelti's Adventure, Mystery, and Romance (1976) are utilized for their indexing and formula concepts. The groundwork for examining explanations of American culture which occur in Burroughs' science fantasies about Tarzan is provided by Ray R. Browne, publisher of The Journal of Popular Culture and The Journal of American Culture, and by Gene Wise, author of American Historical Explanations (1973). The lost race tradition and its relationship to racism in American popular fiction is explored through the inner earth motif popularized by John Cleves Symmes' Symzonla: A Voyage of Discovery (1820) and Edgar Allan Poe's The narrative of A. Gordon Pym (1838); Burroughs frequently uses the motif in his perennially popular romances of adventure which have made Tarzan of the Apes (Lord Greystoke) an ubiquitous feature of American culture.

    Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Art Chronology -- Comics: The Universal Language -- Part 2 !In just the 1950s alone, more Tarzan comic books were made in Britain than all the Tarzan comics that have ever made in America. That was how popular the apeman was in the country that Burroughs gave Tarzan’s fictional heritage. !About the time that U.S. publishers finished their Big Little Book run of daily strips reprints, two different British publishers started reprinting the U.S. newspaper strips at the same time. !One revamped a syndicated mini-newspaper reprint service that ran many of the black & white U.S. dailies as color comics for the first and only time. !The other turned old color Sunday strips into black & white comic books. !Soon, images of Tarzan film actors Johnny Weissmuller, Lex Barker, and Gordon Scott began appearing on comic book racks all across England.

  • Issue #72 Summer / Fall 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (Part 2) a Man, a Colt the MGM Rolling Road Show Latest DVD Reviews
    Issue #72 Summer / Fall 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (part 2) A Man, a Colt The MGM Rolling Road Show Latest DVD Reviews WAI! #72 THE SWINGIN’ DOORS April and May were months that took a number of well known actors of the Spaghetti western genre: Jacques Berthier, Robert Hundar, John Phillip Law and Tano Cimarosa were all well known names in the genre. Of course we should expect as much since these people are now well into their 70s and even 80s. Still in our minds they are young vibrant actors who we see over and over again on video and DVD. It’s hard to realize that it’s been 40+ years since Sergio Leone kicked off the Spaghetti western craze and launched a world wide revolution in film that we still see influencing films today. Hard to believe Clint Eastwood turned 78 on May 30th. Seems like only yesterday he was the ‘Man with No Name’ and starring in the first of the Leone films that launched the genre. Remember when Clint was criticized so badly as an actor and for the films he appeared in during the 60s and 70s. Now he’s revered in Hollywood because he’s outlived his critics. I guess we recognized a real star long before the critics did. A great idea came to Tim League’s mind in the launching of the “Rolling Road Show”, where films are actually shown where they were filmed. I wasn’t able to travel to Spain to see the Dollars trilogy but we have a nice review of the films and the experience by someone who was there.

    gyxegsxq2ri2yvh2yp2ihqe2sgi2f y qr pive2hedes2of2humEhums3 As the summer of 2005 rolls around, we have two more Burroughs conventions on the docket, one in Chicago and one in Toronto. Information flyers are included with this issue, so we hope you can fit one or both of these events into your schedule. Meanwhile, here are some recollections by our President, Bob Hyde, on how the Dum-Dums started. This memoir was first published at the 1991 Dum- Dum in Chicago, but since some of you were not there, we publish it again. Cheers! ... “Ye Editor” GENESIS OF THE BURROUGHS BIBLIOPHILES By Bob Hyde In the beginning . Vernell Coriell started publishing THE BURROUGHS BULLETIN in 1947, and sent free copies to anyone who asked. Soon after this, he was asked to form a Burroughs fan club, and this became a topic of discussion with various fans he met in his travels over the next two years. When Vern was in California in 1949, he obtained permission from ERB, Inc. to form a fan club and to call it THE BURROUGHS BIBLIOPHILES, but not to have any official connection with ERB, Inc. It was still a matter of discussion at the 1959 WORLD SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION in Detroit where our Pittsburgh S-F group won the election to hold the 18th (1960) World Con in Pittsburgh. This 1960 event got us off on a firm footing. Since I was a member of the Convention Committee, Vern asked me to set up an organizational meeting for him at the convention. We figured this would be the logical place where a larger group of ERB fans would be gathered.
