Greetings....

I've gotten the bug to put some work into updating the NSB lately. This means scanning a lot of cards that I've acquired over the last few years (I stopped adding images to the first edition about 18 months prior to going to press...had to stop somewhere...but I must have at least 500 to go through to fill in those "Need Image" spaces). I came across these "Movie Stars" cards and need a little help with identification.

In the 1st edition of the NSB (on page #618), this set was identified as "Our Gang" (an anonymous, blank-backed strip card set that I had only ever seen the then five checklisted child actors from this program, hence the title I assigned). I've since come across more than thirty different actors/actresses of the era in at least four different colors (black, green, purple-gray and red) and recognize that they should be more appropriately entitled "Movie Stars" (and assigned either an "R" or "W" number, as opposed to the F134 that was given). I could use some help identifying who is portrayed on the twelve "artificially numbered" cards below. I'll post the updated checklist when I can get it off of the "NSB" computer later this weekend. If anyone is aware of others, please post here for further incoporation. Thanks in advance, Chris






See, just previewing the post, the name of #12 came to me...that is Jean Darling from "Our Gang"

Is #11 Mary Ann Jackson?

#11 is Davey Lee


#6 and #8 are both Sonny Jim

#7 looks like Jack Oakie

What are those names I see printed right on the cards?

Their names are right on the card.

#4 = Farina
#9 = Strongheart

2 is Hoot Gibson - 5 is Fred Harmon - 7 is definitely Jack Oakie

I can't read what it says on #9 but it looks like Rin Tin Tin

Harry Spear from the early Our Gang is #1.
