About these Cards
30 cards. From Great Britain, 1934.
Each card measures 1-7/16" X 2-9/16 inches.
The same set of 30 "Cinema Stars" was issued the previous year by Abdulla. That set is not to be confused with Abdulla's own 34-card set of hand-coloured "Cinema Stars" issued in '34.
The 30-card set of Cavanders (and Abdulla) featured 29 different Hollywood actresses as their "Cinema Stars," with Esther Ralston appearing in the set twice, card numbers 10 and 29.
Popularly collected stars from the Cavanders set of 30 include: Fay Wray, Myrna Loy, Marion Davies, Norma Shearer and Clara Bow.
