Today, on 23 October in Elvis History

The Billboard announced that Elvis Presley, together with Scotty and Bill made an appearance at the Texas Bill Strength's Nitery in Atlanta. However, no proof of this has been found, so maybe it all took place in Memphis. Strength, a new DJ, had just started performing and booking gigs.

At the Missouri Theater, St. Louis Elvis was scheduled at 2:00, 5:00 and 8:00 p.m. Elvis was supposed to open the show, but he was late. Like he stated himself he was searching for his wallet. He was not allowed to perform and must pay $125.

Elvis got a visit from Nick Adams.

Elvis attended a Bill Haley performance in Frankfurt and visited Haley backstage, where he also met Little Gerhard, a rock 'n' roll star from Sweden.

Elvis started with Kid Galahad. At United Artists he met producer David Weisbart and director Phil Karlson. First appointments were to be made with wardrobe and makeup, then, after a medical exam for the insurance, Elvis started with workouts with champion Mushy Calahan for his role in the movie Kid Galahad, co-starring Charles Bronson.

Elvis had his way; Vernon moved from the house on Hermitage to a new home, just behind Graceland.

Elvis got a speeding ticket near Graceland around 4:00 a.m. while returning home from the Memphian.

Elvis worked at United Artists Recorders with Billy Strange on the soundtrack for The Trouble With Girls from 7:00 p.m. till 3:15 a.m. Later Felton Jarvis would overdub and remix the tracks in Nashville.

Elvis bought a gentleman's diamond and ruby ring from Lowell Hays for the amount of $3,456.
