Tarzan
_____________________________________
Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan" first appeared on radio on September
12, 1932 in a syndicated serial that lasted for 286 episodes. It was
titled "Tarzan of the Apes". A second series, "Tarzan and the
Diamond of Ashir" followed on May 14, 1934, another serial consisting
of 39 episodes. A third series, "Tarzan and the Fires of Thor" was
transcribed but never released for broadcast. All episodes of these
series ran approximately 15 minutes each.
The radio listening audience had to wait until 1951 to again hear the
adventures of Tarzan and then it was only syndicated on the West
coast on the Mutual Don-Lee network. This series, the subject of
this log, was "Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle". The series, a product of
Commadore Productions, was later syndicated nationwide on CBS,
replacing HOPALONG CASSIDY. Unlike the previous series, it was not a
serial. The part of Tarzan was played by Lamont Johnson. Walter
White, Jr. produced the series. Most scripts were written by Bud
Lesser.
It opened with:
"From the heart of the jungle comes a savage cry of victory. 
This is Tarzan, Lord of the jungle! From the black core of
dark Africa, land of enchantment, mystery and violence comes
one of the most colorful figures of all time. Transcribed
from the immortal pen of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan, the
bronzed, white son of the jungle!"
The West coast syndication started on January 11, 1951. The nation-
wide syndication started on March 22, 1952 and ran for sixty-seven
30-minute episodes until June 27, 1953. It's not known at this time
when the West coast Mutual run ended or how many shows that run
included.
