Corrected entry: When Lexie is in her boss' office and lights up a cigarette, you can see that it has a filter on it. Filter cigarettes didn't come out till around 1936: the movie takes place in 1925. Just a side note: if you notice, she never actually smokes the cigarette either.

Factual error: When Dodge and Lexie are in the building running from the police, you see an exit sign. This movie is set in the 1920's, before exit signs were invented.
Carter Rutherford: I thought you liked me.
Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: Look, she's too old for you.
Lexie Littleton: What? Well, you're too old for me.
Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: Well, you got me on that one.

Correction: Cigarette filters were actually invented in 1925 by a Hungarian scientist, and filters were used on "elite" brands of cigarettes since then, and used on the majority of cigarettes by the 1960s. Most common brands of cigarettes took until the 1950s for filters to become commonplace, but filters were kind of "options" on cigarettes since they were invented.
