Early 1920's Jaime Boix Chocolates "Domino" Cards

Judging by the stars on the cards that are pictured here, by best guess is that this set was issued around 1926 or so (Wallace Reid died in 1923, Valentino in 1926, and Joan Crawford's debut was 1925.  Due to Crawford's presence they could not have been issued prior to 1925, so Reid's appearance in the set must be posthumous).  The top left and bottom right corners are angled in order to give a three-dimensional appearance to these cards.  Cards measure approximately 2-1/4 inches wide X 4-3/16 inches deep.  The stars are difficult to identify if you don't already know who they are as their images are depicted on a black background measuring only a half inch in diameter.  We have identified as many as we can here.  Some of the stars were unfamiliar as the set was issued out of Spain and they have included a few of their native stars.  Also it should be noted that this set included more than film stars.  The seven movie star cards here each have the word "Cine" written in the bottom left corner, however their were three other cards from the same set included with this lot; one each for Opera; Drama; Comedia.  All of the names on these three cards appeared to be of Spanish origin.  The first image below is what the backs of each of the cards look like.  The white text in the center circle reads "Chocolates Jaime Boix Barcelona."
