Hi, All,

I do know of one other, MacAvoy Lane (apologies to him if I've misspelled
his name--unlike Twain, I'm not always a great speller).  I saw him perform
at UNLV when I was there, and thought he did a very good job in delivering
stock Twain platform pieces, and a "reading" from Huck Finn; but the best of
his performance for me was that at its close he opened the floor for
questions, answering them "in character."  Though his answers might not have
been Twain's, he did an excellent job of "being" Twain for that
time...something I think is much more difficult than what Holbrook and
others do.

Best,

Jan McStras
