The cards certainly are pre-1933. William Haines' career crashed and burned in 1933 when he was arrested at a YMCA with a sailor and refused Louis B. Mayer's ultimatum to either marry a show bride and fake heterosexuality or lose his career. Mayer fired him and he ended up out of the movie business very quickly. So, if he has a card in this issue, it certainly predates his outing and subsequent career demise.
