context_page_description: The New Adventures of Tarzan is a 1935 American film serial in 12 chapters starring Herman Brix. The serial presents a more authentic version of the character than most other film adaptations, with Tarzan as a cultured and well educated gentleman as in the original Edgar Rice Burroughs novels. It was filmed during the same period as the Johnny Weissmuller/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Tarzan films. Film exhibitors had the choice of booking the serial in 12 episodes, as a feature film, also called The New Adventures of Tarzan, or as the feature film followed by 11 episodes of the serial.
  The serial was partly filmed in Guatemala, and Tarzan was played by Herman Brix. 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 W. Stout under the corporate name of “Burroughs-Tarzan Enterprises, Inc.” and was directed by Edward Kull and Wilbur F. McGaugh.
context_section_description: In spite of the difficulties faced while filming in the jungles, most of the places visited by the filming crew and actors were served by the American company International Railways of Central America (IRCA).  In 1935, the railroad service in Guatemala was at its peak, controlled by the American IRCA, and had major stations at Puerto San José, Guatemala City and Puerto Barrios, which allowed the crew to transport their equipment easily to these locations.  The only difficult locations to reach were Chichicastenango and Tikal, since there were no IRCA services available to those places, although there was airline service to Peten available.
  The places where the filming took place were:
  Chichicastenango: scenes of a native town where the explorers first met.
  Antigua Guatemala: The Green Goddess temple in the abandoned Spanish city, filmed at the ruins of San Francisco Church.
  Livingston: scenes where explorers prepare to go into the jungle
  Puerto Barrios: arrival and departure of the boats carrying the explorers
  Tikal: jungle scenes
  Quiriguá: Mayan city where they get lectured on the Maya civilization
  Guatemala City: then-luxurious Palace Hotel was used to shoot the scenes of the hotel in the imaginary town of At Mantique
  Scenes were also shot at Jungleland USA in Thousand Oaks, California.
