Caption on reverse [translation]: "(Tokyo) February 7, ____. In order to collect and give knowledge of a feeling of love and the marriage problem in which modern young girls think the wrong way, Kan Kikuchi himself, who is the director of Daiei Motion Picture Company, appears to the eyes and ears of the audience on the silver screen and preaches an orthodox feeling of love. Nikkatsu decided to make a novel, "Love and Marriage Story," which Kan Kikuchi recently rewrote into a movie under director Yutaka Abe, at Nikkatsu Tokyo film studio. Nikkatsu director Negishi hoped Kikuchi would appear in the movie, to which Kikuchi said, "If it helps the social education," and agreed to appear because of his title, director of the movie association, and show his eagerness by writing a scenario himself. So on the night of the 6th, Kikuchi and the director, Tamotsu Takada, and Yutaka Abe got together at the Osaka building of the Bungeishunju company. The picture is, from left, director Abe, Kikuchi, and Tamotsu Takada."
