Notes: The 1933 Dixie lid set featured 24 MGM stars. This was the first year movie stars were issued on Dixie Lids. Previously, Dixie had issued lids featuring sets of circus animals and performers and nature lids from 1930 to 1932. Dixie issued movie star lids every year from 1933 through 1954.
The 1933 lids have dots instead of stars in the borders. The line "Who Plays In" was used only in the 1933 issue.
This set contains multiple variations in the movie titles listed on the cards. The checklist below shows the number of movie titles for each of the stars and the names of the movie titles are listed when they are known.
