These are cigarette paper photograph cards and tokens. The photo. cards included with cigarette papers of the JNDO Egyptian Cigarette Company are of silent film actors Betty Blythe (1920's) who once claimed that the 28 costumes that the studio provided her could "all fit into one shoe box". (This was before cinema censorship). Pearl White from 1911-1920's silent movies, serials, and stage plays once made $3000 per week while working in London only to die at age 49 due to liver failure. There is a movie release card from the movie IRON CLAW which includes a circular photo card and suspended little metal claw memento featuring Pearl White. And there is Tom Mix, an original cowboy and the first genre film cowboy to define the western movie from 1909-1925. Known for mentoring John Wayne from back studio prop handling. He was a pallbearer at Wyatt Earp's funeral in 1929 and died at the wheel of his 1937 Cord Phaeton in 1940. There are nine actors in all, including three mentioned above along with William Russell, Norma Talmadge,Dorothy Dalton, Violet Hopson,Harry Carey, and Alice Joyce (once married in Virginia City, Nevada). Most if not all of these film stars are lost to history as most of their works have been lost to the ravages of time. A token broken coin advertising the movie Micheal 111 is included. A coin advertising Paramount Pictures features five of its movies. There are two candy mold tins of Fatty Arbuckle and Charlie Chaplin.
