The OED appeals list wanted anyone to antedate 1937.

>From the Marion(OH) Daily Star, January 19, 1924.  p. ?--A special section
called "The World in Pictures."

     <After Rudolph Valentino visited Adolph Zukor, movie mogul, the word
went out that they had signed a peace treaty and Ruddy(sic), would again
appear on the screen.  He will stage a comeback in Booth Tarkington's
"Monsieur Beaucaire.">
