So HACK-NOT a Simple Mistake On My Flyer!!
The Case-it seems- is SOL-VED!!
MAIN MASK
I have just noticed that the Jack Ridyard Wild Tarzan seems to run in 1937. He continues on these excellent Preston bills all through 1938 but drops the Jack Ridyard duel advertising.
Seems Ridyard as Tarzan was 1937 only.
There was a show in 1939 at Preston where Rex Maxine was to fight Val Cerino , but in the press report Val cerino could not make it and "Jack Ridyard" stood in. No mention of Wild Tarzan,
Was Tom Rigby , Wild Tarzan number two. He had the distinction of staying during the war , wrestling as Wild Tarzan , where as Ridyard , allegedly a Canadian came to an end.
Well done Main Mask. They certainly look like the same man.
I'm mystified by the comment that I said it was a mistake. This is all I said on the subj

No!
I wanted this to be our big Tarzan discovery but just can't see it.
I see the Parr Hall bill MM. That's a good find.
But I'd be surprised if that's the end of the story. The mysterious Wild Tarzan story has got more mysterious.
I still think that's true. Tom Rigby seems to have been a Wild Tarzan. There could have been others. Jack Ridyard for one. Can you find a photo of him?
Further Digging has Uncovered This One RON!! Our Friend WILD TARZAN is here

That seems to be it unless there were two of them.
Jack Ridyard , whoever he is in in the mix.
Get us a photo of him.
