In his introduction to the Oxford edition of _Speeches_, Hal Holbrook
relates the story of listening to a William Gillette recording that
had been used in a television documentary and misidentified as a
recording of Twain. The recording was of Gillette telling the
"Jumping Frog" story.

Does anyone know the name of the television documentary (probably
broadcast in 1955 or 1956) that Holbrook is referring to?

Is the William Gillette recording available from any source?

Thanks,
Barb
