At one point Muni's character is seen buying a second hand book titled "The Life of Pasteur", the role he would play in his next film, The Story of Louis Pasteur (1936), which premiered a month after Dr. Socrates opened.

Edward McWade is on production lists for the role of "Fisher", but that role was played by Otis Harlan.
Debut of actress Grace Stafford .
