leenorman Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Today's NEWS-6/26/40 LA Evening Herald Express, Harrison Carroll: “Appearance of the Arnazes at Slapsie Maxie’s, and other spots, has caused quite a little guessing among the stay-up-laters about the state of her romance with another man she had been seeing for quite some time. Don’t forget, Lucille is to appear with Arnaz in Too Many Girls. The association may be just a build up for the picture. The studio denies it; but, then, it WOULD,” published this date in 1940.
