CHICAGO SUNDAY TRIBUNE

March 8, 1953

This full page photo is from the Picture Section of the Sunday Chicago Tribune on March 8, 1953.  Interestingly, there is no story within, just the photo.  The description misspells the named Riccardo. This is understandable since most viewers would not have seen the name in print, just heard it spoken on television. 

In the very first-filmed episode of “I Love Lucy” in 1951, Ricardo is also misspelled the same way!  

The day after this newspaper was published (Monday, March 9, 1953) America saw the premiere of “The Black Eye” (ILL S2;E20).  

Offscreen, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz had just one more week of pregnancy leave before returning to work to film “No Children Allowed” (ILL S2;E22) for airing on April 20, 1953.
