When Lexie is in her boss' office and lights up a cigarette, you can see that it has a filter on it. Filter cigarettes didn't come out till around 1936: the movie takes place in 1925. Just a side note: if you notice, she never actually smokes the cigarette either. [Cigarette filters were actually invented in 1925 by a Hungarian scientist, and filters were used on "elite" brands of cigarettes since then, and used on the majority of cigarettes by the 1960s. Most common brands of cigarettes took until the 1950s for filters to become commonplace, but filters were kind of "options" on cigarettes since they were invented.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
