Factual error: When Mrs. Lincoln is greeting the guests at the party, she says, "The White House and the other house." The presidential mansion was not called the White House until Teddy Roosevelt gave it that name in 1901.

Suggested correction: Teddy Roosevelt only made the nickname "The White House" the official name in 1901. The nickname was used in the 1800s.
