Today, on 2 April in Elvis History

Elvis returned to Humes for another talent show, accompanied by Dixie.

Elvis performed at the Louisiana Hayride, from the City Auditorium, Houston, Texas. Elvis appeared on a Hayride remote broadcast with Slim Whitman, Hoot and Curley, Johnny Horton, Tibby Edwards and Floyd Cramer. Elvis "did" "Little Mama", "That's All Right", "You're A Heartbreaker" and "Shake, Rattle And Roll". Over 2,000 people were turned away for this performance and Elvis and Slim Whitman both tore the house down.

Elvis performed at the Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto, Canada at 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. He wore the full gold suit and accompanied himself on the piano on "Blueberry Hill".

Elvis and Priscilla were spotted in the Chenault's parking lot by a reporter.

Elvis and Priscilla made a down payment of $13,000 on a house at 845 Chino Canyon in Palm Springs and signed for a mortgage for $85,000.

Elvis was promoted by Ed Parker to the 16th degree black belt in his International Kenpo Karate Association.
