July 10th in Elvis History

It’s July tenth, and on this day in 1956… Elvis Presley and his girlfriend June Juanico took a day trip to New Orleans with friends, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation amid Elvis’s rapidly rising fame. Just a year later, on this day in 1957, Elvis arranged a private midnight screening of his film *Loving You* exclusively for his parents and Anita Wood, sharing an intimate moment away from the spotlight. Meanwhile, in 1965, Elvis’s eighteenth film, *Tickle Me*, opened nationwide to mixed reviews—critics noted its low-budget production, but acknowledged that Elvis’s immense popularity ensured its success at the box office.
