Elvis Presley, New Singing Find, Booked Into New Frontier
Las Vegas Sun : Staff Report : April 21, 1956
Elvis Presley, unanimously acclaimed by critics as the most important singing find since Johnnie Ray, will open in the New Frontier Hotels' Venus Room Monday, April 23, as a special added attraction to the Freddy Martin show. The handsome 21-year-old rock 'n' roller's appearance in the latest Sammy Lewis production is considered to be the Las Vegas entertainment scoop of the year. Presley's sensational rise to fame is largely based on his recent recording of Heartbreak Hotel which sold 100,000 copies the first week it was out and at present is nearing the 1,000,000 mark.
Two years ago the young giant (he stands 6 feet 2 inches tall) was driving a truck in Memphis for $45 a week. Yet in West Coast appearances last week his unusual singing style attracted turnaway audiences of 5,000 and special police squads were needed to handle the admiring crowds who came to see America's newest idol.
Adding to Presley's fame and fortune is a motion picture contract which he signed with Paramount Studios in Hollywood just this week. The young vocalist will be featured in one of the most lavish productions ever presented in the Venus Room, Lewis stated. Freddy Martin and his band, comic Shecky Greene, the Venus Starlets and a cast of more than 60 performers will make up the entertainment package.
