The New Adventures of Tarzan is a 1935 American film serial in 12 chapters. It is a more authentic version of the character than most other adaptations, with Tarzan as a cultured and well educated gentleman as in the original Edgar Rice Burroughs novels. The film quality is not high, however. It was filmed during the same period as the Johnny Weissmuller/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Tarzan films. Publicity and urban legend to the contrary, Burroughs had little to do with the serial, which was actually the idea and project of his friend, Dearholt.

abstract
| - The New Adventures of Tarzan is a 1935 American film serial in 12 chapters. It is a more authentic version of the character than most other adaptations, with Tarzan as a cultured and well educated gentleman as in the original Edgar Rice Burroughs novels. The film quality is not high, however. It was filmed during the same period as the Johnny Weissmuller/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Tarzan films. Publicity and urban legend to the contrary, Burroughs had little to do with the serial, which was actually the idea and project of his friend, Dearholt. The serial was partly filmed in Guatemala, and Tarzan was played by Herman Brix (known postwar as Bruce Bennett). The final screenplay was credited to Charles F. Royal, and from Episode 6 onward, also Basil Dickey. It was produced by Ashton Dearholt, Bennett Cohen and George Stout under the corporate name of Burroughs-Tarzan Enterprises Inc. (which also distributed) and was directed by Edward Kull and Wilbur F. McGaugh.
