A CORRECTION
In the chart preceding the review of "Man — Woman — Marriage" appearing in last Sunday's issue, the usual criticism with reference to "direction" was inadvertently and unintentionally omitted.
Allen Holubar's direction of this unusual story and theme was exceedingly capable — perhaps the very best work and most sincere that he has ever done.
