This card shows Claude Rains, who smoked in most of his films but was a non smoker. in fact he was probably the most famous non-smoker in Hollywood. And he had a trick, developed over many years, so you really have to look closely to see that though he smokes cigarettes openly on the screen he never takes the smoke into his lungs, all he does is take the cigarette in his mouth, hold it gently for a moment and then blow out slowly through his lips.
Now I bet you will be scouring the listings for the next film he is in just so you can watch, or watch with someone you are hoping to impress, and share the secret....
This set was printed in full colour by offset litho, by E. S. & A. Robinson of Bristol. They had been founded in 1844, and the initials stand for Elisha Smith [Robinson] and his brother Alfred. But these initials date from years before, as Alfred joined the company in 1848, almost a hundred years before this card was issued.
