Notes: No company name found anywhere on cards. These cards were issued by the British-American Tobacco Co. (BAT). Some sources list the date of this set at 1924, but the Lucille Le Sueur card clearly dates the set at 1925. Le Sueur began her film career in 1925 and after making one film she changed her name to Joan Crawford in a highly publicized move. She made several other 1925 films under the name Crawford.
Three sets of Cinema Stars cards were issued with identical front and back designs. Collectors differentiate between the sets by calling them Set 1, Set 2, and Set 3, though these Set names are not found on the cards. The only way to tell them apart is by the checklists.
