Show I win I o EaoJ By LYN CONNELLY (NE of the most ridiculous almost pathetic sights in Hollywood these days is that of King Elvis Presley trailing about the glamour city always completely com-pletely surrounded by bis devoted band of bodyguards . . . Never before in years of lush living has any Hollywood star ever felt the need of such 24-hour protection, but Elvis feels important enough to warrant it . . . Someone is awake and on watch even while he sleeps . , . Makes one wonder what it is he is afraid may happen. Apparently he wasn't so concerned con-cerned in the army . : . There were enough people around there to protect him in case of trouble but in Hollywood and New York he insists on these guards (whom he pays himself, of course) . . . You haven't lived, it is related, unless you see Presley driving home after a hot day at the studio, at the wheel of his Cadillac, followed fol-lowed by his second Cadillac which is followed by his Lincoln ... Is he a nervous cat, just star-happy star-happy or solicitous about the employment em-ployment of old friends? Any guess is as good as the next. CAPITOL: Peggy Lee, who has been on a quiet side lately, bursts out of her shell with a great album, al-bum, "Blues Cross Country," done in her own inimitable style . . . This is swinging blues at their greatest and Peggy is queen of blues songs . . . She fairly shakes the rafters with such favorites as "Kansas City," "Basin Street Blues," "Los Angeles Blues," "San Francisco Blues," "Boston Beans," "St. Louis Blues" (but of coarse!), "Fisherman's Wharf" and others. Sinatra must have been thinking think-ing of his broken engagement to lovely Juliet Prowse when he recorded re-corded "Point of No Return." |
