In the film, Allen Jenkins's character complains about having to spend 10 cents to buy cup a coffee at the "clip joint" where they are eating. In 2019, 10 cents in 1937 would be equivalent, due to inflation, to $1.78 in 2019. A small cup of coffee at Starbucks, in 2019, would generally cost you $1.85; whereas, at McDonalds it would cost you $1.00. As well, Louise Fazenda's character claims to have sold the moving picture rights of a 10-page story outline for $30,000. In 2019, that would be equivalent to nearly $535,000.
