Notes: Checklist incomplete.
The back text is the same for all cards and is written in Swedish. Translated into English, it says "Rose Marie the chocolate that tastes more. Pralines (filled chocolates) in different paper packages. Dessert chocolate in price range 10-25 and 50 ore" (100 ore=1Kr.)
There were two different sets of these with very similar backs and a different font used for the text on the fronts. Most of the cards in the set have a circle with Europe written in it on the fronts next to the name of the star, and the size of the circle is larger for one of the sets than for the other. For example, card #32 can be found with Evelyn Brent or Ruth Chatterton with those differences, #34 can be found with Mary Brian or Joe E Brown, both versions of #47 show the same picture of Norma Shearer, but zoomed in differently with text differences. For this checklist, the cards are mixed together since the sets are so similar and cards from both sets are usually found together.
Date info: The #16 Richard Dix card (larger Europe circle) shows him in a New York Yankees uniform in a scene from the 1928 film "Warming Up". The other #16 card shows Joan Blondell (smaller Europe circle). Collector Tom Carfagno points out that Blondell did not make her first film until 1930, and her big break came in 1931 when she played opposite James Cagney in The Public Enemy and then Blonde Crazy. This would seem to indicate that the cards with the larger Europe circle came out first, followed by the cards with the smaller Europe circle. The cards with the smaller Europe circle should probably be dated no earlier than 1931, while the card with the larger Europe circle were probably issued a little earlier. I'm placing a date of 1930-1931 on this set, guessing that the cards with the larger Europe circle were issued in about 1930, followed by the cards with the smaller Europe circle in 1931.
