star hollywood vintage trading card movie memorabilia

This is a very unique collection of trading cards c 1920's-1930's. Norma Talmadge, card #19 issued in 1920? The Talmadge sisters were involved with heroine and cocaine and questioned in the murder as being one of the last people to see William Desmond Taylor alive famous silent movie director:Sometimes it’s difficult to gauge the parameters of success. In one sense, Norma Talmadge had it all. She had the looks, and a Hollywood-style rags-to-riches story. She became known to the world as a major film star, and even became a businesswoman to contend with. But, like so many others, Norma’s shine wouldn’t glitter strongly enough to see her through cinema’s transition to sound. It’s as impossible to imagine how this would affect someone who virtually grew up onscreen as it is to imagine that there was ever a time before the talkies. But, when all is said and done, Norma goes down in history as a starlet of a golden time. In Jefferson Burdick's "American Card Catalog," he lists the highest number in this set seen as #55. I have seen three different groups of these that have some curious differences. The first group stopped at #55 and contained all of the movie stars in the set. This group made me think the set did indeed stop at card #55. The second group contained cards that had numbers that went up to #95. Some of the cards in this group were the same as the first group, while some with the same number showed different subjects. For example, #55 showed Fatty Joe Cobb in both sets and Fatty Joe Cobb's card up for bid is #35. Reginald Denny - Movie Star - Universal Features, issued 1920 Actor first role 1915 last movie role 1966 in BATMAN, also played in Anna Karienna, Alfred Hitchcocks Rebecca, The Little Minister with Katherine Hepburn and many other famous movies, he died in 1967 of a stroke. Charles Ray card #241 starred in over a hundred films, Charles Ray (March 15, 1891 in Jacksonville, Illinois – November 23, 1943 in Los Angeles, California) was a silent film star. Extremely popular in a series of films casting him in juvenile roles, primarily rural young men, Ray's career faded as he lost his youthful looks- he also had a reputation of being demanding and having an outsized ego. In 1926, he played the lead in Paris opposite a young Joan Crawford. However, an attempt to switch careers and play sophisticated men-of-the-world was not a success, as was an elaborate and expensive self-produced version of "The Courtship of Miles Standish" (film considered lost) and he finished his career in small parts, dying from an infected tooth at the age of 52. Lew Cody:Lew Cody, 1920 from box #2 birth name Louis Joseph Côté (February 22, 1884 Waterville, Maine - May 21, 1934 Beverly Hills, California) was an American actor whose career spanned the silent film and early sound film age. Cody had at least 99 film credits during a twenty year period between 1914 and 1934. He was married twice. His first marriage to Dorothy Dalton ended in divorce. Cody married Mabel Normand in 1926. She died of tuberculosis four years later, the day after his 46th birthday. Four years after this, Cody died from heart disease. He is buried in St. Peters Cemetery in Lewiston, Maine with his father and grandparents. Fatty Joe Cobb: Our Gang (the little rascals) pathe issued in 1926 card #35 He and Chaney were both in Boxing Gloves (1929) as feuding romantic rivals, and Cobb was in two more shorts before being retired from the series after Bouncing Babies (1929). He was to make three guest return appearances, in Fish Hooky (1933), Pay As You Exit (1936) and Reunion in Rhythm (1937). In 1936 Cobb was employed by the studio as master of ceremonies for Our Gang's publicity tours. He had minor roles in some B movies, including Arthur Lubin's Where Did You Get That Girl (1940, as a character called Tubby) and Frank McDonald's Tuxedo Junction (1941) then in 1942 started work for North American Aviation. He was to stay with the company for nearly 40 years, and retired in 1981. In 1986 he appeared in a documentary Classic Comedy Teams. He retained his beaming cherubic features and had fond memories of his days with Roach. "It was a small studio, but a happy studio. You always went to work with a good feeling, and went home the same way." Olive Thomas: Olive Thomas (October 20, 1894 – September 10, 1920) was an American silent film actress and socialite.
