Hal Holbrook: In the Dec. 17 Calendar section, the Classic Hollywood column about Hal Holbrook said the actor would be appearing in the coming film “The Promised Land.” The title is “Promised Land.” The error also appeared in an accompanying photo caption.

Evite chief: An article in the Dec. 9Business section about Evite Chief Executive Hans Woolley misidentified Woolley’s wife as Michelle. Her name is Melissa.

Rain gardens: An article in the Dec. 16 California section incorrectly quoted Eric Yoshida, a civil engineering associate with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, describing the sand of the northeast San Fernando Valley as silky. Yoshida said the sand was silty.
