About 1925 BAT Cinema Stars Tobacco Cards
From Britain, this set of "Cinema Stars" was issued by the British American Tobacco Company most likely in early 1925. Lucille Le Sueur, card #11, arrived in Hollywood in January 1925 and was renamed Joan Crawford in August of that same year. This is the only trading or tobacco card I've seen of her identified as Lucille Le Sueur. This also makes this a pretty early cardboard appearance for Myrna Loy, #38 in the set.
Real photo tobacco cards with glossy finish on front, each card measures approximately 1-7/16" X 2-5/8".
There's an odd composition to this 50 card set with 5 different cards each showing Marian Nixon! Other stars, such as Norma Shearer, have 2 different cards in the set. There are 2 cards which picture multiple stars. Beyond that there are some great subjects in the 1925 BAT set with key cards including the early appearances of Joan Crawford, Myrna Loy and Norma Shearer, plus Western Stars Tom Mix and William Boyd, and others such as Mary Pickford and Jackie Coogan.
