Measuring 7-1/2" X 9-1/2" these dated black & white supplements were included in Sunday issues of The Philadelphia Record. Burdick has included them in the American Card Catalog with the designation of M23. A checklist of those I've come across, including dates, is found below along with a few example images.
I've handled several of these supplements over the past few years, and while the checklist below is not complete it is filling in nicely. It appears as though series of supplements were issued in 1933, 1936, 1937, and 1938. The 1937 series seems to include only comics and musicians and not the big studio stars included in the other years. I did come across a very similar supplement featuring President Roosevelt from 1941 which is included here just in case I ever run across any others from this series. The 1936-1938 supplements all include the full date at the bottom, while the 1933 series only includes the month and day -- judging by the calendar and the stars included though, 1933 is the only year which makes sense for those particular supplements.
Highlighted names are linked to that particular star's profile on this site.
