Speaker 3 (07:05):
Why don't right for alarm?
Speaker 4 (07:08):

that I was afraid you'd run into bandits. My dear,
allow me to present Jungle Jim. How do you doing?
Please to meetium, ma'am. And this is Colu.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
Thank goodness, it wasn't anything more serious than the shooting
of a cat.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yes, my dear, I've invited Jungle Jim to have dinner
with this I have. Of course, it'll come right on
up to camp, thanks, ma'am. Pull the canoe well up
on shore. Just Mrs Jim learn a bit of a
place to have Dark's overtake you, isn't it? Yes, Reverend,
But Colo and I know our way around here pretty much.
You're a stranger here about. Yes, that makes a difference, all.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
The difference between being safe and being attacked by heaven
no spots I have my motor.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Boat would in that little cobraround there, and missus Chalmers
feel better sleeping on the land, so whenever night is
coming on, we stop at pitch camp.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You were a trader, young man.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
No, not exactly, ma'am. I came down here originally to
capture wild animals and train them for circuit.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Then the first thing I knew I was getting into
one adventure after another.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I see your point. You're an adventurer.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Well in a manner of speaking, but not the way
you mean that. I tried to right wrong, not make
me Yes.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Yes, of course, of course there are adventurers and adventurers.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
My dear chapter.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
For instance, there was a man named Dirt Romney who
called himself hawk Ruder. Was he did get yes, and
he's dead. He died very suddenly. Well, as I was
saying this, hawk Bruder was chief of a band of
river pirates. He was the black sheep of a good
English family. You may have heard of his brother, Craig Romney,
Reverend Craig Romney.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Yes, indeed, well known explorer died sudden, lived down here,
I believe.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yes, I buried him.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
He was murdered by his brother Dirt, and his wife
and baby were kidnapped by the pirates.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Oh, they held me.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Up as I was starting out in my canoe. I
was unable to rescue the woman because they threatened to
throw her and the baby overboard unless I surrendered.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Was at that time I had no idea who she was?
How did you find out?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
As the big war canoe came near me, I saw
the young woman put the baby's nursing bottle into the
water after the left. I got it and found the
note inside telling me her name. I say, but how
did you find her husband? I figured it out. The
woman's clothes were crisp and fresh looking, so her camp
couldn't have been far away. I noticed the direction from
which the war canoe came went that way, and soon
(09:23):
found the Romney camp.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And the young woman's husband is dead, yes, and so
is to assist them?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Well, I buried them and raised two wooden crosses over
the graves to mark the spot.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I'll show you where they are, Reverend, Your people back
in England may be interested, indeed they will thank you.
I'll see the spotties I've taken back home. But how
did you know the brother had committed the crimes? Young man?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Well, ma'am, I found Craig Rammy's diary, in which he
said there was only one man in the world.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
He feared his brother by show why this is like
a mistress story, isn't it? Mary? How did you locate
the missing brother? By accident?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
That night as I slept by my campfire, the diary
was stolen from my kit bag. In the morning, I
saw imprints of bare feet in the sand. I followed
and came upon a sprawl body.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Of the other.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
No, it was a native with his dying hands, he
managed to sprawl in the sand the statement that he
had stolen the book from Hawk Brewder, and Brewder when
he got it shot him down. Well, I figured that
book was only a vital interest to one man, to
Craig exactly. I trailed as Hawk Brewder, but got captured
by him.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
But how did you escape the brother of a native
Breuter killed in cold blood? Save this and brought us revolvers.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
When he took us to where Bruder was, Bruder made
a moved to shoot me, but my hand.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Was quicker than his. Yes, we understand. Oh, thanks Reving. Well,
Coulo and I were starting back, not.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
To come quick.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Something full out from sky.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Big silver bird was out wing.
Speaker 8 (10:52):

Speaker 4 (10:52):

Speaker 9 (11:11):

Speaker 5 (11:14):
There must be somebody in it. Come along, reverend, hopefully
I'm right, video right, video, But but where where could
it come from?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well? That's all?
Speaker 5 (11:22):

tell us hurry, cold, horry, Reverend.
Speaker 9 (11:28):
I see it is some kind of an airshift and
there are three people in there. Let's get them out.
Stand back, sir, I'll break the window with my revolver.
By what whatever sort of costumes are they wearing? I

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh will you Reverend? Yes, will you soon?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Well, that is something that can't be decided in a hurry,
my young claimons. I suppose you come back to my

camp of the Reverend Chalmers and his wife. After supper,
Flash pleads his case. You see, Reverend Dale and I
have been trying to get married for a long time.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Flash and I love each other very much.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Mister Chalmers, I'm sure you do, miss Harden. But as
I said it, all marriage is something that constant decided
in a hurry.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Excuse me, Reverend, but I did decide it in a
hurry the minute I saw Dale sitting across the aisle
from me in that transcontinental.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
Plane, and so did I a minute I saw Flash
look at me.
Speaker 10 (14:59):
Excuse me for corrupting, Reverent, but I can assure you

You science is based on truth treverence, no matter who
may be benefited or who may be hurt.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
The truth must at all times be spoken. Well, sir,
what's your verdict, my nice young friend. I shall be
delighted to perform the ceremony which will make you as one.
Speaker 8 (15:30):

between white people.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
I mean a jungle wedding. Oh flash, how exciting?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Going to be different from the ceremony we kept looking
forward to in Mongo.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
I don't care about anything as long as I have
you fleshed, you darling, And as far as I'm concerned,
having you is a down sight more important than any
kingdom ever created.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Oh my dear, excuse me you too. I hate to
break in, but just when is the paramony going to
take place?
Speaker 5 (16:01):

Oh flash, isn't it gorgeous?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Not half as gorgeous as you are there? Thank you.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
But you think we couldn't have an altar or trimmed
in orchids if you were being.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Married in the States, that's only too true. Your color
of Godemius is beautiful.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
I thought it was when I made it. And you
think all this is head just for the kickings.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I wonder what that can be?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
A Jim jim, what are those Tom Thomas for?

Oh?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Some natives having a power ow say you're the prettiest
bride I ever saw, Mishddon. Thank you for once Dale,
can't use the usual feminine reply to a compliment.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
All these things heaven, they're old.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
I muld say that, and it would be true. But
I'm grateful to miss Somebody for them.
Speaker 5 (17:38):

Speaker 5 (17:50):
The reverend setting the gramophones so Missus Chalmers can play
the wedding mart all right.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
The star.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I think we're ready.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
You and doctor Zakhoff will come from the timgarden when
the wedding march stops.

Well, I guess we.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Can take our places at the altar, gentlemen, Hones, Sir,
this is the thing I've wanted more than anything in
my life, marrying Dale. Now I'm more scared to stand
in front of that altar and go through the ceremony
than I ever was when I rescue her from our
enemies in Mongo.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
It's the solemnity of the occasion, My dear boy, Now
you and Jungle Jim stand here at my left. That's
it already, Mary.

a thrilling adventure story of Jungle Jym.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Welcome back all say this for the series. It came
to an ending, even if it seems rather abrupt. If
you're wondering the Flash Gordon comic strip didn't end with
Flashindale crashing into Malaysia and getting married in a Jungle
Gym strip, This is very much a radio innovation. I
was doing some research on newspapers, dot com and con
(28:22):
was actually very much alive in the comic strips, and
the action was still going on on Mongo. If I
were to speculate, I do think that in the mid
nineteen thirties, the goal of hearst publications may not have
been served by science fiction serial It's hard to say
that this was a backdoor pilot for a Jungle Gym series,
(28:44):
since it was way too obvious for that. It was
a transitional mini series meant to set up jungle Gym,
with this sort of jungle story likely being seen as
a better fit for mass audiences of the era. It's
hard to argue that they were wrong, given that Jungle
Gym would run on radio for nearly two decades. As
(29:07):
Flash Gordon had been created to run as a competitor
to Buck Rogers, jungle Gym had been created to run
as a competitor to tours en in the newspapers, and
both were written by Don Moore with art by Alex Raymond.
Flash Gordon would return to radio two days later, launching
(29:29):
the further Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon, which would run
for twelve weeks. It broke free of the newspaper strip
continuity with a story following Flashindale's adventures in Atlantis. Sadly,
most of the episodes of that serial are missing, so
we can't bring that to you now. I am not
(29:50):
sure whether I'll ever end up playing Jungle Jam. That's
one of those series I do need to dig more into.
It's also a really massive undertaking, but if we do
get into it, it will be some years. Hence, although
I will say we will hear from Matt Crawley, the
actor who played Jungle Jim in these early years. Listener
(30:12):

They beat them all.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
No good thing to be buried in ground too, next

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Buring us up to our necks and pouring glasses over

Please to meetium, ma'am. And this is Colu.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
Thank goodness, it wasn't anything more serious than the shooting
of a cat.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yes, my dear, I've invited Jungle Jim to have dinner
with this I have. Of course, it'll come right on
up to camp, thanks, ma'am. Pull the canoe well up

place to have Dark's overtake you, isn't it? Yes, Reverend,
But Colo and I know our way around here pretty much.
You're a stranger here about. Yes, that makes a difference, all.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
The difference between being safe and being attacked by heaven
no spots I have my motor.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Boat would in that little cobraround there, and missus Chalmers
feel better sleeping on the land, so whenever night is
coming on, we stop at pitch camp.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You were a trader, young man.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
No, not exactly, ma'am. I came down here originally to
capture wild animals and train them for circuit.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Then the first thing I knew I was getting into
one adventure after another.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I see your point. You're an adventurer.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Well in a manner of speaking, but not the way
you mean that. I tried to right wrong, not make
me Yes.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Yes, of course, of course there are adventurers and adventurers.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
My dear chapter.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
For instance, there was a man named Dirt Romney who
called himself hawk Ruder. Was he did get yes, and
he's dead. He died very suddenly. Well, as I was
saying this, hawk Bruder was chief of a band of
river pirates. He was the black sheep of a good
English family. You may have heard of his brother, Craig Romney,
Reverend Craig Romney.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Yes, indeed, well known explorer died sudden, lived down here,
I believe.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yes, I buried him.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
He was murdered by his brother Dirt, and his wife
and baby were kidnapped by the pirates.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Oh, they held me.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Up as I was starting out in my canoe. I
was unable to rescue the woman because they threatened to
throw her and the baby overboard unless I surrendered.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Was at that time I had no idea who she was?
How did you find out?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
As the big war canoe came near me, I saw
the young woman put the baby's nursing bottle into the
water after the left. I got it and found the
note inside telling me her name. I say, but how
did you find her husband? I figured it out. The
woman's clothes were crisp and fresh looking, so her camp
couldn't have been far away. I noticed the direction from
which the war canoe came went that way, and soon
(09:23):
found the Romney camp.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
And the young woman's husband is dead, yes, and so
is to assist them?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Well, I buried them and raised two wooden crosses over
the graves to mark the spot.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I'll show you where they are, Reverend, Your people back
in England may be interested, indeed they will thank you.
I'll see the spotties I've taken back home. But how
did you know the brother had committed the crimes? Young man?
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Well, ma'am, I found Craig Rammy's diary, in which he
said there was only one man in the world.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
He feared his brother by show why this is like
a mistress story, isn't it? Mary? How did you locate
the missing brother? By accident?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
That night as I slept by my campfire, the diary
was stolen from my kit bag. In the morning, I
saw imprints of bare feet in the sand. I followed
and came upon a sprawl body.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Of the other.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
No, it was a native with his dying hands, he
managed to sprawl in the sand the statement that he
had stolen the book from Hawk Brewder, and Brewder when
he got it shot him down. Well, I figured that
book was only a vital interest to one man, to
Craig exactly. I trailed as Hawk Brewder, but got captured
by him.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
But how did you escape the brother of a native
Breuter killed in cold blood? Save this and brought us revolvers.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
When he took us to where Bruder was, Bruder made
a moved to shoot me, but my hand.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Was quicker than his. Yes, we understand. Oh, thanks Reving. Well,
Coulo and I were starting back, not.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
To come quick.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Something full out from sky.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Big silver bird was out wing.

Speaker 9 (11:11):

Speaker 5 (11:14):
There must be somebody in it. Come along, reverend, hopefully
I'm right, video right, video, But but where where could
it come from?
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well? That's all?
Speaker 5 (11:22):

tell us hurry, cold, horry, Reverend.
Speaker 9 (11:28):

getting into the mainland somehow.

You can get a boat from there.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Thanks, you see, Dale and I want to be married
as soon as possible. That's why we're in such a
hurry to get back to civilization. I see, Well, of course,
that's what about my department. But maybe the reverend here
can fix you up, Gordon.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Oh will you Reverend? Yes, will you soon?
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Well, that is something that can't be decided in a hurry,
my young claimons. I suppose you come back to my
camp and we will talk it over back at the
camp of the Reverend Chalmers and his wife. After supper,
Flash pleads his case. You see, Reverend Dale and I
have been trying to get married for a long time.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Flash and I love each other very much.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Mister Chalmers, I'm sure you do, miss Harden. But as
I said it, all marriage is something that constant decided
in a hurry.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Excuse me, Reverend, but I did decide it in a
hurry the minute I saw Dale sitting across the aisle
from me in that transcontinental.
Speaker 8 (14:56):
Plane, and so did I a minute I saw Flash
look at me.
Speaker 10 (14:59):
Excuse me for corrupting, Reverent, but I can assure you
that never have I seen such true devotion as Flash and.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Dale there for each other.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
The sincerity of these two young people impressively great, Doctor
Zarkof And what you say as wait, I know you
men of.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Science, truth is paramount, and all things of.
Speaker 10 (15:15):
You science is based on truth treverence, no matter who
may be benefited or who may be hurt.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
The truth must at all times be spoken. Well, sir,
what's your verdict, my nice young friend. I shall be
delighted to perform the ceremony which will make you as one.
Speaker 8 (15:30):
Well, thank you, thank you, mister Chalmers.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
That's mighty nice.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Objects Well, it isn't my party, but I'm the lad
in myself. This is the first jungle wedding I've witnessed
between white people.
Speaker 8 (15:40):
I mean a jungle wedding. Oh flash, how exciting?
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Going to be different from the ceremony we kept looking
forward to in Mongo.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
I don't care about anything as long as I have
you fleshed, you darling, And as far as I'm concerned,
having you is a down sight more important than any
kingdom ever created.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Oh my dear, excuse me you too. I hate to
break in, but just when is the paramony going to
take place?

Speaker 8 (17:02):
But you think we couldn't have an altar or trimmed
in orchids if you were being.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Married in the States, that's only too true. Your color
of Godemius is beautiful.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
I thought it was when I made it. And you
think all this is head just for the kickings.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
I wonder what that can be?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
A Jim jim, what are those Tom Thomas for?

Oh?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Some natives having a power ow say you're the prettiest
bride I ever saw, Mishddon. Thank you for once Dale,
can't use the usual feminine reply to a compliment.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
All these things heaven, they're old.
Speaker 8 (17:34):
I muld say that, and it would be true. But
I'm grateful to miss Somebody for them.

Well, I guess we.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Can take our places at the altar, gentlemen, Hones, Sir,
this is the thing I've wanted more than anything in
my life, marrying Dale. Now I'm more scared to stand
in front of that altar and go through the ceremony
than I ever was when I rescue her from our
enemies in Mongo.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
It's the solemnity of the occasion, My dear boy, Now
you and Jungle Jim stand here at my left. That's
it already, Mary.

lah native?

the marrias for the local ceremony.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Do you mind going through with it?
Speaker 8 (19:16):
Of course I don't. I think it's thrilling. Our wedding

it's terribly unimpressive.

a thrilling adventure story of Jungle Jym.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Welcome back all say this for the series. It came
to an ending, even if it seems rather abrupt. If
you're wondering the Flash Gordon comic strip didn't end with
Flashindale crashing into Malaysia and getting married in a Jungle
Gym strip, This is very much a radio innovation. I
was doing some research on newspapers, dot com and con
(28:22):
was actually very much alive in the comic strips, and
the action was still going on on Mongo. If I
were to speculate, I do think that in the mid
nineteen thirties, the goal of hearst publications may not have
been served by science fiction serial It's hard to say
that this was a backdoor pilot for a Jungle Gym series,
(28:44):
since it was way too obvious for that. It was
a transitional mini series meant to set up jungle Gym,
with this sort of jungle story likely being seen as
a better fit for mass audiences of the era. It's
hard to argue that they were wrong, given that Jungle
Gym would run on radio for nearly two decades. As
(29:07):
Flash Gordon had been created to run as a competitor
to Buck Rogers, jungle Gym had been created to run
as a competitor to tours en in the newspapers, and
both were written by Don Moore with art by Alex Raymond.
Flash Gordon would return to radio two days later, launching
(29:29):
the further Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon, which would run
for twelve weeks. It broke free of the newspaper strip
continuity with a story following Flashindale's adventures in Atlantis. Sadly,
most of the episodes of that serial are missing, so
we can't bring that to you now. I am not
(29:50):
sure whether I'll ever end up playing Jungle Jam. That's
one of those series I do need to dig more into.
It's also a really massive undertaking, but if we do
get into it, it will be some years. Hence, although
I will say we will hear from Matt Crawley, the
actor who played Jungle Jim in these early years. Listener
(30:12):
comments and feedback now and we go to YouTube where
