Jungle Crisis!
Are Tarzan and
Mate Married?
LOS ANGELES UP) — While
Tarzan and Jane were living to
gether in that tree all those years,
were they also living together in
sin?
Belated rumors of such a
jungle scandal are circulating in
nearby Downey, where some of
the restless natives may be trying
to drum Tarzan books right out
of their elementary school librar
ies.
Their suspicion: That there is
nothing to Indicate Tarzan and
Jane were ever legally married.
And, if this is the case, that chil
dren are being exposed to tales
abou': an ape man who was up
to a little monkey business when
he whisked Jane over the thresh
old of his primitive penthouse
and invited her to stick around
for breakfast.
The celebrated fictional hero
created by the late Edgar Rice
Burroughs has been through this
sort of thing before. Once, in fact,
he was in effect accused of being
a dupe of the Communists. Hap
pily, it appears Tarzan’s reputa
tion is as indestructible as Tarzan
himself.
Supt. Bruce Moore of the
Downey School District said the
trouble started at the last School
Board meeting. Board member
Robert Ryan said he’d been told
a librarian at one of the schools
removed all the Tarzan books.
Ryan’s informant said there had
been vicious gossip about Tarzan’s
alleged Inability to produce a
; marriage certificate.
Sol Lesser, who produced many
of the Tarzan movies, said the
same objections were raised years
ago.
“Finally I spoke to Burroughs,"
Lesser added. “He said: *1 would
advise you to read my books. In
one of my eajrly books it was
established that Jane’s name was
Jane Porter, that she was the
daughter of a minister in Balti
more, Md., and that the father
went to the jungle and there mar
ried Tarzan and Jane.’’
