Watch the night cleaning man that Della convinces to let her into the Tydings & Dawson office. As he graciously opens the door for her, he magically acquires a pair of black rimmed glasses as the camera angle changes to inside the office. See here. Submitted by "BB," 2/4/04.

Shortly after Abigail E. Leeds leaves Perry's office for the first time, Della takes a call from Paul and relays the message to Perry. He says "Call Paul back. Tell him I'll meet him downstairs." Della replies "Oh, that's where he is. Down at Clay's Grill." I think that this is the first mention of "Clay's Grill" in the series and that we don't encounter Clay or his Grill again until the last season. Submitted by Mitch English, 6/28/05. (Actually Clay's Grill figures prominantly in ep. 8: "The Case of the Crimson Kiss". Perry is eating there when he receives the call that involves him in the case and he later has a meeting with Burger and Tragg there and later still Perry meets Della and Paul there.)

Perry's office number, MA 5-1190, makes its first appearance as the number for the Tydings and Dawson office. Paul gives it to the operator when he makes his warning call to Perry from the phone booth. Submitted by D. A. Supernaw, 12/13/06.
