San Francisco, CA Civic Auditorium (1 matinee and 1 evening) |
Gene Smith and Elvis backstage before the 2nd show at the Civic Auditorium
By Carolyn Anspacher
Thousands of pre-conditioned San Francisco adolescents were “shook up” yesterday by Elvis Presley, the hip-waving vocalist from Memphis Tennessee.
Presley, wearing a pompadour, a pout, sideburns to his chin and a wine red suit, played at the Civic Auditorium to afternoon and evening audiences whose shrieks carried down to Market Street.
Claques of young girls, proudly wearing green ribbons marked “Official”, had been coached all morning to “give Elvis everything you’ve got”.
They gave screams, swoons, tears so wholeheartedly that not even they realized what was painfully apparent to Presley’s managers.
The afternoon was skimpy.
Whether the preponderantly female audience came to hear Presley sing or to watch his caricature of sex could not be determined. They roared through everyone of his 14 rock and roll offerings in such crescendo that three policemen and four firemen were forced to leave the building.
Thirty Pinkerton cops were on hand to protect the 22-year-old Presley from his public. The platoon was augmented by squads of strong arm men who shouted repeatedly that the audience would not be permitted near the 28-foot stage.
Presley did not appear before his palpitating admirers until the second half of a mediocre variety show.
For half an hour he held count in a dressing room surrounded by the winners of a “Why I like Elvis Presley” contest, officers of a “The King’s Klan” and “The Sideburn Set”; several disc jockeys and a few apathetic reporters.
Pasty faced and nervous, he wiped his sweating hands over the front of his tight trousers and grimaced at the group in front of him.
In response to what they took for a smile, the young girls huddled close together. One burst into tears. Seven snapped pictures of him. Three sketched him. Then they began raising their hands, as if they were in class, asking recognition.
In his husky drawl, Presley said he didn’t know when he was going in the Army. He was 1-A, he said, and waiting to be called.
No, he said, he didn’t wear a wig.
No, he never did say he didn’t need the press anymore.
“Who are you mad about now?” one girl asked.
Presley twitched slightly. “No one in particular,” he said.
“My ultimate ambition,” he said,” is to become an actor. I couldn’t handle anything real heavy now. I’ll have to work up to it.”
“Are you studying drama?”, he was asked.
Presley twitched again.
“I’m not studying anything”, he said. “I figure it’s experience that counts, not studying. I never had any lessons I just take things as they come and when this comes up I’ll make the best of it.”
Then came an interlude of photographing. After that Presley autographed everything handed to him — shoes, programs, handkerchiefs, scarfs, bits of paper. They all read: “Loving You”, Elvis.”
He called all his young admirers “Honey” and absently rubbed their shoulders and necks.
At Christmas time an album of seasonal songs, sung by Presley, will be released. The only song he hasn’t monkeyed with, he said, is “Silent Night.”
“It’ll be a rock and roll Christmas”, he said.
The girls screamed.
