Elvis was riding Rising Sun this afternoon, accommodating the fans for autographs. He was wearing a long sleeved, dark brown shirt, brown pants, a turquoise and silver belt, a long red scarf and white boots. Priscilla was also out riding Domino, and GeeGee on Willy. The grounds were full of fans and Mr. Pepper kept blowing his whistle. Elvis laughingly said, “Mr. Pepper’s got that whistle caught in his throat, hasn’t he?” Elvis was in a great mood, laughing, joking acting silly and doing some of his impressions like Glen Campbell and Ray Stephens, saying “Let’s hear it for the monkey – Guitarzan.” Elvis stayed out until after dark. Then he went to the Memphian.

From the Donna Lewis Diaries Vol III.
He arrived at the Memphian wearing the same clothes he had been riding in. The first movie was “Sams Whiskey” with a bird named Priscilla. When Angie Dickinson said, “Priscilla died” everyone, including Elvis and Priscilla, busted out laughing. Elvis sang some during the movie, “This time We’re Really Breaking Up”, and someone said “do you believe in magic? And Elvis started singing that song. He also sang “Do You Know The Way to San Jose?” The second movie was “Eye of the Devil”. The evening ended at 3:15 am.
