Hal Holbrook's re-creation of Mark Twain— one of the most sensational theatrical events of many years —has been hailed on the New York stase, throughout the United States, and, most recently, on a triumphal tour of Europe.
Coronet Films recognized the tremendous classroom value of Mr. Holbrook's great artistry and arranged to preserve his unique performance for the school children of America. This skillful rendition of our country's leading humori.st and author was filmed in Twain's home in Hartford, Connecticut-the actual place where he wrote some of his most famous works.
Informally interviewed by a contemporary boy and girl, Twain'.s own words are used as he reminisces about his boyhood life along the Mississippi and the professions he followed before he became a writer . . . and he has many pungent comments on writing, travel, and advice to the young.
Mr. Holbrook's film portrayal of Mark Twain is available only in this Coronet motion picture.
7'j reels (13'i minutes). Color, $137.50; B&W, $75.
On berng an author: '•I'm sorry to tiave my name mentioned as one of ttie great authors because they have a sad habitof dying off. Chaucer is dead . . .sois Milton, so is Shakespeare. And I am not feeling very well myself.'"
On honesty: -l am the wellsprmg of truth; but you can't bring up the whole well with one bucket. Truth is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize it. Discount me 90 per cent for embroidery, but what you have left is perfect and priceless truth without a flaw in it anywhere."
