In the afternoon, Elvis Presley, Scotty Moore, and Bill Black performed in Houston at the Magnolia Gardens (afternoon show), 12044 Beach Street, Houston, Texas. There was actually an ad for this appearance at the time, were in the audience that day and Jim and Lois Robertson were trying out a new 8mm home movie camera with color. They didn't really know of Elvis at the time and Lois Robertson only seemed to recall about 20 to 25 people in attendance. She filmed parts of the performance and after the color film was developed the Robertsons watched it once or twice, then put it away.

That evening, Elvis moved over to Cook's Hoedown Club. This is the only Magnolia Gardens/Cook's Hoedown appearance for which there was any mention in a local newspaper. Elvis Presley played these two Sunday gigs regularly following a Louisiana Hayride show on Saturday.
