Notes: Cards are in color, with most of the captions containing three lines of text below the picture. Included in the text is the star's name on the first line, "Movie Star" or "Movie Actress" on the second line, and their studio name on the third line. Blank-backed.
From looking at a partial uncut sheet, the movie star cards were issued together with strips of similarly-designed boxers and western subjects. Only the movie stars are identified in the checklist below. Click the small picture above to view more pictures, including strips and a partial sheet.
