Popular Romance #27

This anthology issue contains three romance stories. "The Broken Date" by Margaret Doll follows Janet Feller, who decides to break a date with Carl Meredith to teach him a lesson about taking her for granted, only to discover that breaking the date hurts her pride more than his. "Ashamed of Love" depicts a married woman named Kay who is unhappy in her marriage to Walt and becomes infatuated with a man named Greg, but ultimately realizes Walt is the only man she truly knew and loves him, choosing to stay in her marriage. The issue also features "Heartbreak Moon," among the stories advertised on the cover alongside film references to Columbia's "From Here to Eternity."
