It's surprising when the producers seem to have taken so much care to make sure everything looked authentic, when it would have been very easy to ask any collector to supply a "Victor" record from the period and when the locale of the series is New Jersey - the home of Victor Talking Machine.

I mentioned that at the outset, although I don't know if it was on this list or 
Toast of Noo Yawk. It was also a twelve-incher and that particular Caruso 
record was ten inch. Also, don't you ever wonder how the records get changed in 
some of those houses (ill or other repute) when there's nobody around? They've 
also goofed on a couple of songs, using I'll See You In My Dreams and What'll I 
Do, neither of which was published until 1924. We're still in 1923 at the end 
of Season 3.
