Moving Picture World, 14-January-1922

In 1920, the Fox Film Corporation produced an adaption of Mark Twain's novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. It starred Harry Myers, who played an important part in Charlie Chaplin's City Lights. A few reels of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court still survive.

Actor Hal Holbrook has died. He liked to say that he played Mark Twain longer than Sam Clemens did. I think I saw Mark Twain Tonight on television either when it was first shown or when it was repeated.
