Yoc:
Thanks Guys!
I hope Scott comes back.  I've added numbers to his guesses below.

I made a guess on#1 being W.C. Fields in my first post.  His nose doesn't look big enough so I expect that's wrong.  Hoover was president in 1933.  I looked at pictures of him on Google and I agree, it does look more like him than Fields.

#1 President Hebert Hoover
#2 ??
#3 N.Y. Gov Al Smith looks right to me after looking on Google as well.
#4 is clearly Chaplin
#5 is 'Skippy' (agreed)
#6 Ben Turpin (got him too)
#7 Maurice Chevalier
#8 John D. Rockefeller seems right again when I look him up.
#9 Leopold Stokowski, the conductor
#10 Thanks for naming Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg (so I don't have to type it all out again!)
#11 ??
#12 Eddie Cantor  (got him too)
#13 Adolphe Menjou
#14 President Calvin Coolidge
#15 Happy Hooligan with tin can on head
#16 Cab Calloway?
#17 ??
#18 ??
#19 ??
#20 Sigmund Freud
#21 Rudy Vallee
#22 Will Rogers
#23 Benito Mussolini ?  I guess I see it.
#24 ??
#25 King Edward VIII
#26 Ed Wynn  (I had him as well)
#27 King George V
#28 George Bernard Shaw
#29 Paul Whiteman bandleader
#30 Ghandi
#31 Abie the Agent (never heard of him but Google agrees)

Yoc:
Some new names to add...

#9 - Leopold Stokowski, the conductor
#14 - President Calvin Coolidge
#25 - Edward VIII
#27 - George V

a a:
#11 Leonid Trotsky?

#13 Salvador Dali?

#16 Cab Calloway?

#18 William Howard Taft?

Yoc:
Thanks A A.
I have my doubts on your guesses though.
#11 seems to focus on an oversized moustache.  Leonid Trotsky usually had a goatee and a nice bushy head of hair.
#13 seems too conservative for Dali who always had that crazy moustache. 
#16 Cab Calloway might be right.  I'll leave it a question mark on the list.
#18 William Howard Taft - he was dead two years or so by the time of the issue.  It's not impossible but I have doubts.

Thanks for chiming in!

Pretty sure #29 is bandleader  Paul Whiteman. He has the appropriate hairline, squinty eyes, pencil mustache, and double chin. Whiteman was a little fatter than that, though.

After looking at contemporary caricatures of Whiteman I'm sure this is he. Tried several times to link to an image but couldn't get it to work.
