SPRING BREAK....IN AUGUST???!!!

Only ELVIS could make it so! And ONLY in Wally's
Screening Room!

In honor of the 25th anniversary of The King's death
on August 16th, 1977, Wally screened the classic
1965 Elvis flick "GIRL HAPPY."

Elvis stars as Rusty Wells, a Chicago singer. When the boss's daughter causes a family stir by asking to go to Ft. Lauderdale with her girl friends during spring break, Rusty hatches a plan. He volunteers the combo to travel (all expenses paid!) to the beach resort to keep a watchful eye on the lovely Valerie (Shelley Fabares). Elvis and the boys have to come up with plenty of schemes to keep the local romeos away from her and keep the boss happy.The movie features Mary Ann Mobley, Gary Crosby, and Jackie Coogan.

"Girl Happy" provides some of the most memorable Elvis movie-tunes ever like "Spring Fever," "Girl Happy," "Wolf Call," "Do The Clam," "Puppet On A String," "Ft. Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce," "Do Not Disturb," "Cross My Heart, Hope To Die," and more!

Guests were asked to wear their best "spring break beachwear," and since EVERYBODY in Wally's Screening Room has always been and always will be "girl happy," there was a special treat for the ladies that night! "Elvis" handed out scarves and the ladies that got one's with special rhinestones on them recieved a prize! Everyone got Krispy Kreme's since jelly doughnuts were the King's favorites.

"scarfed" by Elvis. That's right, a sweaty scarf was
given to EVERY female guest, because we ARE girl happy!
