Item Description
8.5x11” typed letter on “CBS News” letterhead is dated Mar. 13, 1956 with title reading “11 Year Old Glenn Derringer, Elvis Presley Returned To ‘Stage Show’ March 24.” Elvis made his network TV debut on Jan. 28, 1956 on “Stage Show” hosted by Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey. This press release is for his sixth and final appearance on that show where he performed “Money Honey” and “Heartbreak Hotel.” Interestingly enough, Elvis received second billing to 11 year old organ prodigy Derringer. “Young Glenn Derringer, 11-Year Old Organist Who Captivated Television Audiences On The Jackie Gleason Show Last Year, Will Make A Return Appearance On ‘Stage Show,’ As Well As The 19-Year-Old Recording Star Elvis Presley, Saturday, March 24.” Letter goes on to mention the Dorsey Brothers will perform as will the June Taylor Dancers.
