Rock ‘N’ Roll King Elvis Presley attracted the largest crowd on the session yesterday when he appeared before the Tennessee Legislature. Gov.

1967

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.
