Notes:
Percy and Fizz take jobs at the “Hotel Swanko-Castoria,” an allusion to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel at 301 Park Ave. in Manhattan, and perhaps influenced by Fletcher's Castoria, a popular laxative brand. A woman buys “Chester-Gold cigarettes,” a combinational allusion to the Chesterfield (Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co.) and Old Gold (Lorillard Tobacco Co.) brands. Detective “Curlock Foams” appears, an allusion to Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.
