Asides - The Boys Are Back In Town.

Back in April of 2008, I created a post (here) featuring active 1930 actors sporting pencil thin mustaches, quite a popular trend at the time. I decided it was time to give the clean shaven group their due as well. The images in this post all come from the same 1930 Stars of the Photoplay hardcover book that was published periodically by Photoplay magazine.

It's up to the reader to decide which crop of matinee idols fits your fancy, mustachioed or clean shaven. All but one married at least once, so the clean shaven group definitely had its admirers.
