Description:
Elvis Presley Early Signed 'Motion Picture' Contract, 1956. Two pages, mimeographed copies of the original typed document, dated "March 5, 1956," outlining the agreement Hal B. Wallis and Joseph H. Hazen of Paramount Studios made with the then 21 year old Presley as he was embarking on his film career; eleven 'boiler plate' points are listed, including salary ["First yearly period $15,000 / Second yearly period $25,000," etc.], transportation ["You agree to furnish me with round-trip first class transportation to Hollywood and to allow me $50.00 a day expenses..."], and other like terms; signed on the second page in blue ballpoint ink "Elvis Presley" and in blue and black fountain pen ink by the two producers; this document was likely a file copy as it's mimeographed, though all signatures are actual ink on paper. 11" x 8.5". COA from Rich Consola. Estimate: .
