Always Leave Them Laughing picture

Continuity mistake: After the ill-received Al Jolson impersonation, Milton Berle gets paid only 5 bucks instead of 50. He asks the manager "What are you doing, putting 45 in your own pocket?" as several not so reassuring individuals begin to crowd him. Notice a balding guy with a white shirt and pattern tie; he puffs out smoke as he arrives, but at the cut he is still chewing on his cigar and immediately blows smoke again.
