First Kiss #32
This issue features two stories. "The Barren Years" shows a woman torn between two men—Lloyd, who wants her in his arms, and Ray, whom she wishes would take action—until circumstances force a resolution at a company dinner and dance. "The Big Mistake" follows Ethel Jones, who arrives at a Broadway theater with a ticket to see a show, only to discover a young man has the ticket for the same seat; a series of mix-ups involving counterfeit tickets, a printer's error, and competing claims leads the theater manager to offer them both complimentary tickets and dinner elsewhere as compensation.
