November 15 - Events - Today in Elvis Presley History
1955
 
Elvis performed in “The Community Center” Sheffield, Alabama at 7.00 and 9.30 PM
 
1956
 
Elvis visited the late show of Liberace at the Clover Room of the Riviera Hotel.
Afterwards he visited Liberace backstage and even fooled around for some photographers.
 
Elvis Presley appeared in a movie for the first time as Love Me Tenderopened at the Paramount Theatre in New York City.  (Note:  there are conflicting reports of the date of the premiere.  The books ‘Icons of Rock:  An Encyclopedia of the Legends Who Changed Music Forever’ by Scott Schinder and Andy Schwartz and ‘Elvis:  Day by Day’ by Peter Guralnick and Ernst Jorgensen state that the movie premiered on November 15.  The newspaper ‘The Examiner’ and The Graceland.com website also show the premiere as the 15th.  The books ‘The Elvis Movies’ by James L. Neibaur and ‘Elvis Presley:  A Biography’ by Kathleen Tracy state that the premiere was on November 16.  This would be a tossup to determine the accurate date, unless those sources all saw the picture of the marquee above, which clearly shows that the premiere was on the 15th…)
