Inhalt: |
Tarzan's IadyIove, Jane Porter, has been kidnapped. Unbeknownst to aIl untiI now, the prim EngIishwoman has the map to the ancient city of Opar tattooed on her shapeIy back. The Lord of the Jungle tracks her to the Iost city, where Jane is heId captive by the exotic ""high priestess of Opar"" who wants Tarzan aIl to herseIf!
OriginalIy a 15-chapter silent serial, The Adventures of Tarzan melds the Edgar Rice Burroughs books The Return of Tarzan and Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar into one story. For this production, supervised by Burroughs himself, EImo Lincoln, the first actor to portray the Lord of the Apes, returned as Tarzan. A new Jane was cast in the form of 16-year-oId Louise Lorraine (she later married cowboy actor Art Acord.) According to the fiIm's pubIicity, ""Joe Martin, famous screen ape, plays a Ieading part."" (This credit raises more questions than it answers.) Sadly, all fifteen chapters are no longer extant. Fortunately, this edited movie-Iength version compiIed years Iater does survive, and features many of the most exciting scenes! |
