Thanks to all who replied, glad I found this site. Roger, did you actually attend one of Elvis' Circle shows?! Please let me know & fill me in on any details you recall. And do you have any memorabilia of any kind from those days? I’m in the process of going thru microfilm I recieved from the Cleveland Historical Society covering The Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Cleveland Press from 1955. I did find one small ad referring to an October 19th, 1955 Circle show with Elvis. He received last billing, his name barely readable below country stars Kitty Wells & Jonnnie & Jack!
Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone, great site. Chris
Hi All: I enjoyed reading this entire posting. My name is Chris Kennedy and I’m a researcher working with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I’m investigating Elvis Presely’s 1955 appearances in Cleveland. He performed at The Circle Theater and St. Michael’s Hall in October of 1955. Do any of the experts here have any info on these theaters? Does anyone have any leads / contact info on owners or booking agents you may have worked these shows? Hope to hear back. Chris K.
dave-bronx: great tip re Belkin Bros…I’ll look into it. Any contact leads you can give me for them? Chris K.
