Tarzan and Jane: A Jungleogue
March 3, 1933 ~ An unpublished humorous play
On occasion when Ed took a bypath into humour, he was
not above poking fun at his "meal-ticket" — Tarzan in his natural jungle
environment. Written on March 3, 1933, "Tarzan and Jane, a Jungleogue"
was a 5,000-word play that featured characters from the original Tarzan
of the Apes. Those present included Professor Archimedes Porter, Samuel
Philander, William Clayton, Esmeralda, and two familiar animals, Numa the
lion and Terkoz the bull ape. The plot, humorously embellished, is a sequence
from the novel, with Jane, her father and the others, after being put ashore
by the mutineers of the Arrow, finding Tarzan's cabin with his warning
note. In the play, presumably designed for amateur production, Ed has suggested
props and sets and inserted stage directions. Among these he mentions a
runway or chute for the lion and piles of rotting logs and boulders for
jungle realism. Movements of the characters are prescribed: "Tarzan listens
off R. Crosses and enters L. Enters lion chute L." and similar instructions.
