Cigarette Card Stars : An introduction

In the days before smoking was considered bad for you (or at least no one cared much if it was), cigarette packets came with cards to collect. Parents often giving the cards (which could cover any number of topics) to their children to collect. The cards nowadays can be highly valuable and tended to be collected by adults! The Ardath Tobacco Company released a number of card series on up and coming stars (or hopefuls in any event) of film and stage, we will be looking at some of these cards and the starlets portrayed on them in an upcoming series.
