Today, on 9 March in Elvis History

Elvis performed at the Armory, Poplar Bluff, Missouri.

Elvis spent $103 at Lansky Brothers Clothing Store. He performed at the Chickasaw Ballroom, Chisca Hotel, Memphis.

Elvis took Elizabeth on a motorcycle ride to show her Memphis.

Elvis reported to MGM for preproduction on Harum Scarum. After wardrobe tests Elvis recorded vocal tracks for the instrumental backups that were made in Nashville.

In the middle of the night Elvis fell in the Bathroom at Rocca Place. The Colonel arrived and a doctor was called, whom came back the other day with a portable X-ray machine. Elvis had no fractures, but the event did cause another delay in the start of production. The whole thing provided the Colonel with a reason to reprimand the entire group and Larry Geller most of all.

Elvis performed at the Coliseum, Charlotte, North Carolina, at 2:30 and 11:00 p.m.
