<B>Queen Of The Jungle (Screen Attractions Corp., 1935).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). This serial contains something to offend everyone today. An African tribe shoots down the hot air balloon of a young girl, but rather than subject her to primitive rituals (as all rituals are), they proclaim her the White Goddess and allow her to rule. If you're not easily offended by overt sexism and racism, then certainly the outrageously low production values will offend your sense of good taste. Budget constraints forced the filmmakers to recycle stock footage from the 1922 serial "The Jungle Goddess" so that the story was even woven into the plot. Eighteen years after the girl was lost in the jungle, her childhood friend David finally finds her -- appropriate since 13 years after the original filming of silent footage, viewers rediscovered it integrated into a new serial. Unfortunately, due to the sped up production and projection of silent films, the reunion's a little funnier and more awkward for viewers. Savor the memories with this lovely stone litho one sheet, which has had fold line touch up and airbrushed borders, with a few tears and scuffs repaired. Fine on Linen.
