Description:

Sepia tone motion picture star card of Russian dancer, choreographer, and film actor, Theodore Kosloff. He began his professional ballet career after training at Moscow’s Imperial Theater and was later featured in Cecil B. DeMille’s films. Kosloff’s most popular films include Why Change Your Wife?, The King of Kings, and Adam’s Rib.

The card is from a set of 70 movie star cards inserted into packages of Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate. The Ghiradelli Chocolate Company was founded by an Italian named Domenico Ghiradelli. Over 160 years later, Ghiradelli is the oldest continuously operating chocolate maker in America.
