Factual error: Oliver Hardy, inside a telephone booth, looks up Stan Laurel's number in a large directory.

This time he finds the number on a page which is about three-fourths of the way from the beginning of the book. Names beginning with "L" would not be on either of those pages but would be approximately two-fifths of the way into the book.
