Notes: Checklist incomplete. Unnumbered. It appears that there were 16 cards issued for each movie, with a different card given out weekly. Cards for five different movies have been seen. Some of these have printed backs (separate printed backs for Playhouse Theatre and Queen's Theatre), some have blank backs, and some have blank backs with stamps for Queen's Theatre. Though there are two different theatres for these cards, they are being grouped together for this checklist as they all share the same design, they were all issued in the same timeframe around 1925, and they were all issued in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Date info: The cards for the "Into the Net" group were issued in 1925, as that film came out in 1924 and the year April 11 fell on a Saturday was 1925. The cards from the other films were probably also issued in 1925, though they could have been issued a year earlier or later.
Thanks to Dale Stratton for providing the information for this checklist.
