Title	Filming a movie So. Of Coliseum; Elvis Presley in "Meet Me at the Fair" View S.E. with Republic of China Pavilion
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00092
Description	Elvis Presley and the official World's Fair Band of the Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). "Elvis Presley came to town to make the film It Happened at the World’s Fair. Using the fair as a backdrop for an Elvis movie was actually the brainchild of Governor Albert D. Rosellini, who suggested the idea to studio execs at MGM. They liked the concept, and soon enough The King showed up, turning heads and causing girls to shriek everywhere he went." On the official World's Fair Band led by Jackie Souders"Decked out in an all-white uniform with gold braid, radiating happiness with every gesture, Souders led his 37-piece band around the fairgrounds with infectious enthusiasm." (Peter Blecha, "Century 21 Exposition (1962): Music at the Fair." HistoryLink.org, http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&file_id=9367)
