A fun post! Do you know when this was published? I see no date within the publication itself. Thanks!

My guess is that this supplement was published sometime between 1933-1937. My reasoning: "The Skipper" itself ran from 1930 to 1941. The cycle of American gangster films began around 1932 and began petering out around 1935 after Cagney quit the gangs and became a G-Man. Note that the editors assume their readers aren't familiar with "American film slang" but omit "G-Man." (Plus they get a couple of them wrong.) All that suggests 1933-1934, or a year or two later if the editors were behind the times. I've noticed that war themes became increasingly popular in story papers around 1937-1938 and there are no military-themed pieces here. So I conjecture this supplement would have been published no later than 1936-1937. Of course this is all guesswork!
