Adventures of Tarzan is an American silent adventure film that was released in 1921. The film, directed by Robert F. Hill, is based on the character of Tarzan that was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Elmo Lincoln played the lead role of Tarzan, while Louise Lorraine appeared as Jane Porter and Scott Pembroke played the character of Samuel T. Philander. The film revolves around the story of Tarzan, a young boy who was left alone in the jungle after his parents were killed in a plane crash. He is raised by a tribe of apes and grows up to become a skilled hunter and a protector of the jungle. Tarzan's life changes when he meets Jane Porter, a young woman who has come to the jungle with her father to explore its mysteries. Tarzan and Jane fall in love, but their happiness is short-lived as Jane's father is kidnapped by a group of ivory hunters led by Rokoff (played by Thomas Jefferson). Tarzan decides to rescue Jane's father and embarks on a dangerous mission to save him from the clutches of Rokoff and his men. The film features some of the most memorable scenes of Tarzan swinging on vines, fighting against wild animals, and rescuing Jane from dangerous situations. The film's special effects, which were considered advanced for the time, still hold up well even today. Elmo Lincoln delivered an outstanding performance as Tarzan, bringing to life the character's strength, agility, and wildness. Louise Lorraine also shines as Jane Porter, playing the character with a mix of innocence and bravery. Scott Pembroke provides some comic relief as Samuel T. Philander, a bumbling professor who becomes Tarzan's friend. Overall, Adventures of Tarzan is a thrilling adventure film that captures the spirit of Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic character. The film's action-packed sequences, combined with its stunning visuals and memorable characters, will keep viewers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. It is a must-watch for any fan of Tarzan or adventure films.
