Episode 42. Opening clip: “Tarzan, Silver Screen King of the Jungle,” featuring ERB fan and scholar Tracy Griffin. Tracy joins Chicago Muckers Jim Hadac, Joan Bledig and Elmo for a tour of Oak Park and Chicago sites related to Edgar Rice Burroughs. Elmo interviews Frank Lipo, who heads the Oak Park historical society. Burroughs lived in four homes in Oak Park and rented an office there during his early prolific period. Tracy and some of the Muckers use the same bathroom ERB would have used in that office building. They also visit 414 Augusta Avenue in Oak Park, where Burroughs wrote Thuvia, Cave Girl, Mad King, Pellucidar, The Mucker and others; and 700 Linden, where he wrote The Oakdale Affair and The Land That Time Forgot. In Chicago, they visit Billy Byrne's neighborhood and 3 Tree Studios, a former artists colony where J. Allen St. John worked.
