Suppose that f is analytic in the unit disk D. If its range f(D) is contained in a simply connected proper subdomain of the plane, then the principle of subordination and the distortion theorem for univalent functions show that
where M(r, f) denotes the maximum modulus of f. Cartwright (2) studied functions which, instead of omitting all values on a continuum stretching to infinity, omit only a sequence of values. She assumed that the sequence {wn} satisfies
and
and proved that if f(D) contains none of the points {wn} thenm
for every ε > 0. Cartwright's proof was based on the Ahlfors Distortion Theorem, and is quite complicated. A much simpler proof was given by Pommerenke in (10). The key idea in his proof will also be used in the present paper.
