April being the cruelest month, Actor Hal Holbrook, 41, rummaged through the collected wit of Samuel Clemens and inserted an apt crack into his one-man virtuoso performance, Mark Twain Tonight!, at Manhattan's Longacre Theater. "What's the difference between a taxidermist and a tax collector?" mused Holbrook-Twain. "The taxidermist takes only your skin...
...SCENE THREE. Also Saturday afternoon in Chelsea, at Le Reve restaurant. Wolfing down a quick lunch are some of the most switched-on young men in town: Actor Terence Stamp, 26, star of The Collector and steady date of Model Jean Shrimpton; Actor Michael Caine, 33, the Mozart-loving spy in The Ipcress File; Hairdresser Sassoon, 38, whose cut can be seen both at Courreges in Paris and on Princess Meg; Ace Photographer David Bailey, 27, professional associate of Antony Armstrong-Jones; and Doug Haywood, 28, Chelsea's "in-nest" private tailor.

...Rembrandt's Titus, sold last year to California Collector Norton Simon. At Sotheby's in London last week, a Flemish painting of St. George spitting the dragon brought $616,000. Since the oil, attributed to Hubert van Eyck, is the size of a postcard (5| in. by 41 in.), it cost a record $26,552 per sq. in. At the new record's rate, a canvas a yard square would cost $34,411,000, more than 15 times the highest price ever recorded for a painting.
