%%* BreakingLecture: Addison, to Eve. Taking her inflated ego down a notch by calling her out on all her lies. Lying about her dead fiancee, lying about being Eve's biggest most kind and devoted fan, lying where she lived in San Francisco, and her manipulation of other people around her simply for a role in a play with no remorse of what happens to those lives she's ruined. And then there's the affair she was blackmailed into leaving town about. After all of this thrown in her face, Eve is in tears.
%%* CampStraight: Addison. Who has a large formal vocabulary, fashionable sense of style and mannerisms, and in the end he tells Eve that she belongs to him.

* TheatreIsTrueActing: The two lead characters, Margo and Eve, are both stage actresses, and everyone thinks ''very'' highly of their craft. While their thoughts on film are never mentioned, television is specifically derided as a lesser art form. The ditzy, less-talented Miss Caswell bombs an audition for a stage show, and is told she can still have a career... on TV. It's clearly meant as a jab, albeit one [[InsultBackfire she's too naïve to get]].
