Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight!, Friday, April 19, 1985, Jesse Auditorium
Abstract
"While Mr. Twain's selections will come from the complete list below, we have been unable to pin him down as to which of them he will do. He claims it would cripple his inspiration. He has generously conceded, however, to a printed program for the benefit of those who are in distress and wish to fan themselves."
