Radio Memories

TARZAN OF THE APES

CONTENTS:

     Originally syndicated by American Gold Seal Productions and heard over the World Broadcasting System beginning on 09/12/32.  Many authorities regard this as the first major syndicated radio series.  The story line tends to follow the story line of Edgar Rice Burroughs' initial 1914 novel of the same title, and continued for 286 episodes and ended on 03/10/34.  One of the screens first Tarzans, James H. Pierce, played the son of the jungle, raised by Kala, a young female ape.  Joanne Burroughs, Pierce's wife and the author's daughter, starred as Jane Porter.  Jane's father, Professor Porter, Samuel T. Philander, the professor's assistant; Cecil Clayton (actually Tarzan's cousin); and French Lt. D'Arnot all share in the exciting adventures.  Gale Gordon starred as Cecil Clayton, Cy Kendall as Captain Tracy, Jeanette Nolan as Princess La of Opar and Frank Nelson is heard as Nikolas Rokoff.
