The New Adventures of Tarzan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Adventures of Tarzan is a 1935 American film serial in 12 chapters. The final screenplay was credited to Charles F. Royal, and from Episode 6 onward, also Basil Dickey. It was produced by Ashton Dearholt, Bennett Cohen and George Stout under the corporate name of Burroughs-Tarzan Enterprises Inc. (which also distributed) and was directed by Edward Kull and Wilbur F. McGaugh. Publicity and urban legend to the contrary, Edgar Rice Burroughs had little to do with the serial, which was actually the idea and project of his friend, Dearholt. New Adventures was partly filmed in Guatemala, and Tarzan was played by Herman Brix.
