James Pierce, of course, played Tarzan in the silent version of the story. However, after he graduated from Indiana University, he coached high school football around the Tucson area before moving to the Hollywood area. They were probably wintering in Tucson so that's probably why his car was spotted by the Sipes. He also coached high school football in Glendale, AZ where John Wayne was one of his players. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My bad. It was Glendale, CA where he coached football. We do have a Glendale, AZ but it was CA where he also coached football.
