Grab the comb, slick back hair and remember to wear
those blue suede shoes as the Egyptian Theatre presents an Elvis
Presley double feature of “the King” Elvis Presley. In Flaming Star, Dirty Harry director Don

Love Me Tender,
Presley’s debut film, The King becomes a farmer as he plays the
youngest of four brothers, as the elder brothers go out to fight the
Civil War while Presley tends to the farm. Drama enfolds for all.
Still, Elvis still gets to croon the titular song. The Egyptian Theatre
