The reading of Georgina Withers' Last Will and Testament, and auctioning of her estate, takes place on [Thursday] May 21st 1936. However, an article in "The Evening News" is improbably dated Wednesday July 1st 1936 when the main events of the film only occur over three days or so.
As with the death-sliding sailor at the Kings Theatre, when the nurse pulls George down from the top of the wardrobe 'he' is clearly a mannequin.
The text of the newspaper article headed "WITHERS WILL SURPRISE" does not refer to the events of the film whatsoever; similarly "The Evening News" piece bears little relation to the headline of chair-slashing.
"Is that the one?" asks Max of a chair at Dr Wilberforce's surgery - despite the fact that he has already seen one of the set at Madame Louise's vocal school.
