The phrase "Wild Animal Serial Supreme" on this poster points to the 1921 Universal serial that brought Edgar Rice Burroughs's jungle hero to the screen in installments. Elmo Lincoln, who had already played Tarzan in the 1918 feature *Tarzan of the Apes*, returned to the role here, and the serial's chapter-by-chapter cliffhangers were typical of the form that drew audiences to neighborhood theaters in the early 1920s. Posters like this one were built to promise spectacle: lions, apes, and peril in the jungle. They also show how quickly Tarzan became one of the most recognizable characters in American popular film.
