EE PIAS civnciseunssanne Theatre, and the lines are beginning to form. Hal Wallis has had a distinguished career as a producer of over 400 films. Over the years his pictures have been nominated for 121 Academy Awards and walked off with 32 Oscars. But it is doubtful if he has ever been involved with a more successful string of pictures or a more lastingly popular star than the series of films he has produced to display the talents of Elvis Presley. The magic of the Presley name doesn’t dim with the passage of years, it glows ever brighter. In “Easy Come, Easy Go,” Elvis plays a Navy frogman who accidentally locates what he believes to be a vast sunken treasure while he’s in the act of immobilizing a vagrant mine. Waiting until his discharge from the service, he embarks on a treasure hunt. True to the spirit of all Presley pictures, “Easy Come, Easy Go” is crammed full of songs, beautiful girls and zany characters in oddball situations. resets” Sa" fin “sone eNO Access Still #10234/76 The Wallis company is about equally divided among newcomers and veterans, with Dodie Marshall, Pat Priest and Pat Harrington each getting the best role they’ve ever had in motion pictures. Pat Priest and Dodie Marshall get a chance to vie with each other to see which of them is the sexier and Pat Harrington gets a meaty role to prove that he’s as good an actor as he was a comedian. Young pro Skip Ward is the villain of the piece, while old pro Frank McHugh plays what he calls the funniest role he’s ever had, a sea captain who can’t avoid being seasick when he’s on the water. Elsa Lanchester sparkles as a weird yoga instructor. The film has been directed by John Rich, a veteran of just about every type of television series and now fast making a name for himself as a skilled motion picture director. The screenplay is by Allan Weiss and Anthony Lawrence and the music is by Joseph J. Lilley. “Mat 2C UNIQUE PAINTING APPROACH is observed by a puzzled Elvis Presley and an experienced Dodie Marshall in this colorful scene from “Easy Come, Easy Go,” nicolor opening ...... at the a Hal Wallis production in TechPidetedes Theatre. The Paramount Picture features six new Presley hits. FLVIS—WORLD’S MOST POPULAR ENIGMA, SCORES AGAIN IN “EASY COME. EASY gO!” Hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles have been written on the theme of ““What so-andso is really like.”” For the most part, these stories, though usually sketchy, come pretty close to their targets. There have probably been as many or more articles of this nature written on the subject of Elvis Presley than on anyone else. Do they hit their target? “Easy Come, Easy Go,” the Hal Wallis production for Paramount Pictures in Technicolor, opening PONS a ie sor at the ................ Lheatre, is the 24th picture Elvis has starred in in little over a decade. Once again there will be stories about “What Elvis Presley Is Really Like.” There is only one honest answer. Nobody knows for sure. Or, if they’re close to Elvis and do know, they’re not saying. And once again, your guess is as good as anyone else’s. Everyone has an impression of Elvis. Reporters base their statements on deduction and logic and limited personal exposure. Everyone who works with Elvis has an opinion. But what people really know seems to be a consensus of theories and appraisals rather than fact. Is he married? The consensus seems to be he is not, but how many people know for sure? What does he do in his spare time? Well, he doesn’t go night clubbing and he doesn’t go where people can see him. He’s been linked with girls in gossip columns more often than he’s been seen with them in public. Usually, the column items are pure conjecture. Whereas many stars scream about their craving for privacy, all over the front pages, Elvis simply disappears. When he isn’t working he goes home to Memphis... or does he? There are some who claim he has a hideaway somewhere in the Hollywood area. Almost the only time his whereabouts have been subject to accurate checking was during his time in service. One could find out where he was stationed. There are a few obvious truths about Presley. He obviously loves to work. The 24 films in ten years are proof of this, particularly when one adds on the recording sessions. He has been overexposed professionally the way very few others have been, and for a longer period. But it hasn’t hurt him one bit. His personal life has been underexposed, but perhaps this helps account for his popularity. Millions of teenagers have screamed and fainted at his performances, but none of them actually knew anything about the person they were screaming at. Perhaps this mystery heightens his appeal. Each fan is able to create the image of his hero he prefers and the only demands on a spectator or fan is to pay attention to the actual performance. Everyone who has worked with Elvis is agreed that he is quiet, hard-working and polite, hardly a glamorous image. But no one seems to know more about him than the facts revealed in his studio biographies. There is even disagreement as to what his favorite foods are. So, the next time you read about what the REAL Elvis Presley is like, you might just as well believe it. You aren’t likely to read anything more accurate in the foreseeable future. “EKasy Come, Easy Go” co-stars Dodie Marshall, Pat Priest, Pat Harrington, Skip Ward, Frank McHugh and Elsa Lanchester.

PAT PRIEST REALLY NOT A MUNSTER— IN “EASY COME, EASY GO” SHE PROVES IT After two years of synthetic TV stardom as Marilyn Munster, the misfit (she’s so pretty, she had to be considered a misfit) of the Munster clan, lovely Pat Priest finally gets a real break, Pat is co-starred opposite Elvis Presley in “Easy Come, Easy Go,” the Hal Wallis Production in Technicolor for Paramount Pic GETS, OTD ova steed vevacecnseinee. It’s quite a jump from playing second fiddle to a family of ghouls to playing a pert and attractive society girl who gets several chances to demonstrate she knows how to fill a bikini, and does so in plain view of Elvis Presley and his built-in audience of millions. Pat doesn’t claim she had a miserable time appearing in the “Munsters” series, but she has a right to resent it just a little. The series went out of its way to conceal the fact that Pat has the kind of figure guys enjoy whistling at. “There were times,” she said, “when I felt like going to the producers and telling them that if they wanted someone who looked like a boy, they should have hired a boy.” But Pat wisely kept quiet and got two years of TV under her belt and made her name mean something other than the name of the daughter of a former Treasurer of the United States (Ivy Baker Priest). Now, in “Easy Come, Easy Go,” it may honestly be said that Pat shows all—well, nearly all—certainly enough to convince vagrant viewers who might actually have thought that was a boy playing the role of Marilyn Munster that it wasn’t any such thing. “I’m crazy about acting,” Pat admitted, “unlike my sister Nancy who tried it (under contract to 20th Century-Fox) and didn’t care for it too much. “But from now on I’d prefer to play roles which expose the fact that I am a girl and I don’t have a hip problem.” “Easy Come, Easy Go” also costars Dodie Marshall, Pat Harrington, Skip Ward, Frank McHugh and Elsa Lanchester. 6 * A ) (RI 6) RED) ED {) ARI) AE) SAN AR (| EE te (5 A |) ERI ( ) ERD () IED: |) CERIN) ERI (5 URED: () ERR () OR () INS ( ) EE ) (ARE () RE () ROD.) eS () <a BN vecanscaxncashcciieeet coe Theatre.
