1955, I hereby authorize and direct you to forward my compensation to and in the
name of my agents, ASSOCIATED BOOKING CORPORATION, 745 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK,

Linden Crabbe in Oakland, California), who won the Gold Medal in the
400-meter swim at the 1932 Olympic games, went on to star in over 100 adventure
films, many set in outer space (most as Flash Gordon) and the Wild West (as
Billy "the Kid" Carson). In 1933, Crabbe also starred as Tarzan in the
Principal Pictures 16-part serial film. Ironically, in winning his Olympic
medal, Crabbe had broken the record set by MGM's rival Tarzan, Johnny
Weissmuller. Lightly toned, creased and rippled. Paper clip impression and
rust stain in upper left corner. Otherwise in fine condition.
