Walk With a Doc

Elmo Lincoln, the first movie Tarzan, snuggles with Enid Markey (Jane) in “The Romance of Tarzan,” released in 1918. A couple of years later, Fondren Banks played the jungle man for Biograph.

Tarzan’s vine swings through Coweta family tree

By W. WINSTON SKINNER winston@newnan.com A new Tarzan movie opened on Friday – following some 200 previous movies on the jungle man.

One of the first starred Fondren Odell “Tarzan” Banks, who was a descendant of a pioneer Coweta settler. Banks played Tarzan in two reelers filmed by Biograph Studios just outside New York City in New Jersey.

The silent movies were made about 1920. Earl Liederman, a “physical culturist,” directed the films on the wood lot started by inventor Thomas Edison. Lie-

derman’s wife, Helmar, a beauty pageant participant, played Jane Porter, the Englishwoman who captures the ape man’s heart.

Banks and Helmar Liederman reportedly never kissed in the films.

Banks, wearing a leopard skin outfit, would swing from a platform on a sound stage with six cameras focused on him. The footage would be combined to make it appear Banks was swinging for miles through the jungle.

It took a week to make the

Jungle man has had many faces

By W. WINSTON SKINNER winston@newnan.com

“ T h e L e g e n d o f Ta r zan” opened Friday, the latest movie to chronicle the story of the iconic character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Bu r roug h s w rote more than two dozen books about Tarzan, the son of an English lord. Tarzan was raised by apes after his parents died. The Burroughs estate authorized some other book s, a nd ot her Ta rza n titles have been published.

Alexander Skarsgård – perhaps best known for HBO’s “True Blood” – plays the lead role in the new film. Also in the cast are Samuel L. Jackson and John Hurt.

As the film opens, it has been years since the man o n c e k n o w n a s Ta r z a n (Skarsgård) left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke. Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge.

“The Legend of Tarzan” was shot at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, as well as on location around the United Kingdom.

The first Tarzan movie was a silent film, “Tarzan of the Apes,” released in 1918. He played Tarzan in two other films and also has small roles in some later Tarzan movies.

Fondren “Tarzan” Banks played t he ape m a n i n some 1920s films that were removed from ex hibition because they were not authorized by Burroughs. Banks had roots in Coweta County.

The best-known Tarzan was probably Romania-born Olympian Johnny Weismuller who played the role in 11 films between 1932-1948. Later Tarzans were Buster Crabbe, who ran a swimming pool corporation and a boy’s camp subsequently, and Lex Barker.

Barker was a descendant of Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island. Barker had a prep school education – he graduated from PhillipsExeter Academy – and left his studies at Princeton to start his acting career.

Ron Ely starred in the “Tarzan” TV series that ran from 1966-68. Christopher Lambert starred in “Greystoke” in 1984, and Joe Lara in a television film in 1996 and a TV series that followed – running until 2000.

Alex D. Linz provided the voice of Tarzan as a boy, while Tony Goldwyn’s was the adult voice in the Disney cartoon film, released in 1999.

TARZAN Continued from page 1A movies, and Banks was paid $500. Because the Biograph movies were not authorized by Edgar Rice P l e a s e v i s iBurroughs, t o uwho r wrote w ethebTarzan s i tbooks, e @ www.myfooddepot.com! they were removed from exhibition soon after their release.

Banks never made anymore movies, but the expehim.

P l e a s e v i s irience t ostuck u rwithw e He b used s i ttheenickname @ w“Tarww.myfooddepot.com! zan” for the rest of his life. In later years, he ran a nudist colony, was featured in Ripley’s Believe It JOOST EVERS / ANEFO Or Not for rowing across America in a machine he Johnny Weismuller made and was a long distance runner, a boxer and a snake handler.

He was “in carnival life most of his life,” his nephew, Chet Banks of Albany, recalled in a 1999 interview. “He was extremely colorful.”

Although Banks was born at Spence in Grady County in 1902, he was a descendant of Drury Banks, a Revolutionary War soldier who was one of Coweta County’s first settlers. Drury Banks is buried at White Oak Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church on Gordon Road.

Frances Banks Storey, a Coweta genealogist who died in 2012, researched the family history, publishing two books of Banks family history. In 1977, Storey traveled to Meigs, where Tarzan Banks lived in PHOTO BY BETH NEELY retirement.

He “had gone back home” where he built a lake “for the family to have a place to get together,” StoJONATHAN OLLEY rey said in 1999.

Alexander Skarsgård plays Fondren Banks died April 14, 1985 in Dougherty the lead role in “The Legend of Children enjoy cooling off in the Splash Fountain at Carl Miller park on County. He is buried at the Carter-Banks Cemetery Tarzan,” which opened Friday in Thursday. Admission is free, and hours are from 8:00 a.m. until 9 p.m. theaters across the country. in Grady County.

OPINION

Fond political memories No one expects politicians to be perfect. But until a couple of decades ago, voters were willing to tolerate corruption and incompetence because the sleaze came with a side order of entertainment.

Today’s politicians are just f lat out boring. When accused of wrongdoing, they mumble, “I didn’t do it,” or “you can’t prove it.”

The old timers would have roared with indignation. The great ones actually gained fa n s by not ju st ad m itting their bad behavior, but embracing it.

And no one did it better than the good ol’ boys from the Deep South.

A fine example is former Georgia Governor Eugene

Talmadge. When accused of manipulating the commodities market to boost the price of his hogs, Talmadge didn’t apologize. He told his supporters, “Sure, I stole. But I stole it for you.”

He was easily reelected.

W hen former A labama Governor James E. “Big Jim” Folsom admitted to accepting cash from special interests, he said, “That crowd I got it from, you had to steal it to get it.”

Voters ate it up.

One of Alabama’s most legendary political entertainers was Ralph “Shorty” Price.

Shorty—who boasted of being “four-foot-twelve”— was an attorney who specialized in stirring the pot and losing elections. He ran for

ALEX MCRAE office seven times. He never won. Never came close.

In a 1958 run for governor, Shorty finished dead last in a field of 14 candidates. The group included a retired Navy admiral who claimed the country was controlled by a “Jewish-Communist conspiracy” that included country comedian Minnie Pearl.

Shorty couldn’t even outpoll Winston Gullatte, who campaigned on a promise to shoot himself if he couldn’t keep Alabama segregated.

Shorty didn’t waste money on political consultants and

fa ncy sloga ns. His ca mpaign posters said, “Drink B udwei s e r b e e r, s m oke Tampa Nugget cigars and vote for Shorty Price for _________!”

Shorty filled in the blank o n t h e p o s te r a f te r h e decided which office to run for. Shorty ran four times for governor, twice for lieutenant governor and once for the U.S. Congress.

Shorty never let politics distract him from his true passion—Alabama Crimson Tide football. Shorty was elected an Alabama cheerleader during his undergraduate days in Tuscaloosa and kept it up until the day he died.

Shortly after the kickoff of each Bama game, Shorty would stumble drunkenly to the sidelines and proceed to cheer for the Tide. Newspa-

per archives overflow with pictures of Shorty being “escorted” off the field by lawmen.

If Bama was losing, Shorty taunted the Tide’s opponents. During an Alabama loss to Tennessee in Knoxville, Shorty bent over and m o o n e d t h e Te n n e s s e e marching band.

One of Shorty’s most noteworthy efforts came during the 1973 Sugar Bowl. Alabama and Notre Dame were playing for the first time. It was North vs. South, Catholics against Protestants, and fan spirits were sky high.

Shorty was, too, described by one fan as being “drunk as Cooter Brown.”

This was not usually cause for alarm, but in his inebriated ent husiasm , Shor ty stopped cheer i ng long enough to punch out Notre

Movie Review

Da me’s leprechaun mascot. He was toted off to the pokey. With the leprechaun in pain and Shorty in jail, Bama lost, 24-23.

When he wasn’t cheering for Bama or losing elections, Shorty pursued politica l reform. He tried more than once to have the Alabama governor’s term shortened from four years to two.

Political experts said he did it so he could run for office more often.

Shorty swore his motive was more simple. He said, “If you can’t steal enough to last you the rest of your life in two years, you ain’t got enough sense to have the office in the first place.”

Wouldn’t it be nice to see that kind of honesty—and fun—in politics again.

Review By: Jonathan W. Hickman Another intriguing premise merely becomes an increasingly familiar adventure. Entertaining, but nothing new, “The Secret Lives of Pets” fails to capture the weight of the best animated offerings namely the wonderful “Zootopia.”

When Max’ (voiced by comedian Louis C.K.) owner decides to adopt a new dog named Duke (“Modern Family’s” Eric Stonestreet), worlds collide. Duke is rough and tumble and kinda selfish—immediately asserting himself and even trying to take over Max’ comfy bed. Meanwhile the other pets in the apartment building explore their secret lives while their owners are out for the day. We meet an amusing assortment of creatures—dogs, cats, a hamster, some fish, birds, and other domesticated animals.

What our pets do when we’re not at home is a perfect jumping off place for a potentially terrific film. And for a brief time at the beginning of “The Secret Lives of Pets,” this premise shows promise, but when the action moves outside the safety of the apartment complex, the story gets ever more contrived and goofy.

The appeal will be mainly on the surface for a few hearty laughs but nothing approaching genuine emotion.

Instead of attempting to build on a concept that is instantly of interest to any pet owner, the writing team that was responsible for the “Despicable Me” franchise decides to constantly introduce characters in hopes of wriggling additional chuckles. The idea is to keep the action going and the viewer entertained. And to that extent, “The Secret Lives of Pets” will satisfy family audiences especially those younger members. But the film works best when things are somewhat grounded and the pets go about the normal day. It is as if the producing, directing, and writing ensemble does not trust that such a narrow story would translate into big enough box office. So, we get car chases and a wacky subterranean odyssey. Nothing is magical or very memorable.

The ever-expanding cast of characters and outlandish action set-pieces feel forced and overly familiar. It is not surprising that this movie is directed by

Chris Renaud, who gave us the “Despicable Me” films and produced “Minions.”

But pets aren’t Minions. Pets actually exist in our world and they are often very fragile unlike a Minion, who can sustain all sorts of violence.

To be fair, there is a subplot concerning pets that have been thrown away, but instead of focusing on some inkling of authentic pet characteristics, these pets become more and more Minion crossed with human as the adventure proceeds.

T here i s cer ta i n ly not h i ng w rong with personification in which animals are given human characteristics. And an exquisite example of using this technique was “The Jungle Book” released earlier this year. But “The Secret Lives of Pets” is not a film that aims as high as Kipling, who used anthropomorphism to teach telling moral lessons. Instead the technique is employed in “Pets” for a few cheap laughs and little more.

What do our pets do when we’re not around? Unfortunately, “The Secret Lives of Pets” offers up little answers.
