Notes: Checklist Incomplete. I checked the release dates for 10 movies listed on these cards and they were all released in 1923 or 1924, so I am placing a date of 1924 on this set.
This set shows a card for Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. from his first credited movie role. Fairbanks was 13 years old when the movie was released. The card says the movie title is "Stepping Out," while the movie was actually released as "Stephen Steps Out."
These cards can be identified by the following characteristics:
- They have a brown tone
- They are borderless
- A small white rectangle at one of the bottom corners of the card contains the name of the
movie star, the name of one of his movies, and the movie studio.
- They have postcard backs
