Disclose Notes: Al Pearce and Bill Harrington were real people and the "Saturday Night Hit Parade" was an actual radio program of the period. The final panel of this story contains a text box suggesting that "Miss Stardust" was a regular character whose readers "eagerly follow her adventures in YOUTHFUL LOVE ROMANCES every month," but this character does not appear in the previous 3 issues of this comic. Readers are urged to write and tell the editors if they want the feature to continue or be replaced by "another type of story."

"Laura Austin" is called "Lana" in the splash panel.
