Harry Orendell-Mathews is a typo. His real name is Harry Grindell Matthews, the ‘Death Ray Man’.
And its not done with lasers this being 1931 – Its a carbon arc light.

I think you are bang on the money over the Bat Signal though. Batman appeared in 1939 and the Bat Signal was first used in 1941.

“Why not put some gas in the costly motor and take a nice long drive? ”

These days, it would be phrased as ““Why not put some costly gas in the car and take a nice long drive?” Of course, the response from one’s spouse, upon hearing that the fuel was to be used to look at advertising, would be to have the person committed.

As soon as the “dark and stormy night” dumps its rain on John Doe’s cloth car seats, he’s gonna take it out on the missus.

And thus was born … the Bat-Signal!
