hal holbrook in mark twain tonight!

saw a one man show on this set.
it was just an ornate chair, a table with some books, and a lectern on a rug.


hal holbrook never sat in the chair.  he smoked an unlit cigar, talked politics (as twain) in the first half, and did a funny huck finn skit in the second.
holbrook is 88 years old!  born in 1925.  

beauty with stamina.

joy to you!

    A wonderful evening I am sure. Love the wit of Mark Twain, and could picture Hal Holbrook in the part.
