Date info: From checking the names in this checklist, the date range pretty much has to be 1931-1934. Astrid Allwyn, Karen Morley, and Clark Gable didn't really get their start until 1931, and William Haines was in no movies after 1934. Marjorie King really only had one big movie role, in 1933. Dorothy Appleby really only had bigger roles from 1933 on, and Nora Gregor didn't do much after 1933. All of this points to 1933 as the most likely issue date.
