What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Two aging film actresses live as virtual recluses in an old Hollywood mansion. Jane Hudson (Bette Davis), a successful child star, cares for her crippled sister Blanche (Joan Crawford), who's career in later years eclipsed that of Jane. Now the two live together, their relationship affected by simmering subconscious thoughts of mutual envy, hate and revenge.

Continuity mistake: When Victor Buono circles the ad Jane placed in the paper, the only way to contact her listed in the ad is a phone number. However, when his mother calls acting as his secretary to schedule him an appointment for 4:00, no one gives or asks for an appointment.

Suggested correction: Jane's address is never given in the call, but Buono shows up at the house looking at a paper to find her location. The time of 4 o'clock is established in the call. (Just watched the scene again to be sure).

The address is not given in the call or is it printed in the paper. How did Flagg know where Jane lived?
