the first tarzan films were eight silent features and serials released between 1918 and 1929, most based on novels in the original series. elmo lincoln starred in the first tarzan feature, "tarzan of the apes" (1918), a faithful cinematic rendering of burroughs' first tarzan novel. the first portion of the film featured gordon griffith as the young tarzan, so griffith could technically be considered the first screen tarzan. (early in the film, tarzan is also shown as a baby played by at least two different uncredited children.) elmo lincoln returned for two sequels. additional silents were produced in the 1920s with other actors (three of these films – "the romance of tarzan" (1918, elmo lincoln), "the revenge of tarzan" (1920, gene pollar), and "tarzan the mighty" (1928, frank merrill) – have been lost). one of the silents, "tarzan and the golden lion" (1927), featured the then-unknown boris karloff as a villainous native chieftain. other actors who portrayed the character in 1920s films were p. dempsey tabler and james pierce (who married the daughter of edgar rice burroughs). the first tarzan sound film was "tarzan the tiger" (1929), featuring frank merrill as the ape man, shot as a silent but partially dubbed for release. it was merrill’s second tarzan movie, and it cost him the role, as his voice was deemed unsuitable for the part.
