NOVEMBER 6, 1955 SUNDAY

Elvis Presley performed two benefit shows for the Daily Herald's Doll and Toy Fund to buy Christmas gifts for needy children in Biloxi, Mississippi. The performances at 2:00 and 8:00 p.m. were held at the Community House and were also sponsored by the local Lion's Club. There was a dance following Elvis' two-and-a-half hour evening appearance. Also on the bill were Ernie Chafin, Eddie Camp, Dan Seals, Jim Owen, Betty Ashley (of nearby Pascagoula), and others.
