She won third place, an album of Elvis Presley records, for her pantomime in the Elvis Presley contest. The contest was conducted by O. J. Morrow, manager of the Morehead Theatre. Myrna Willis, saner patn, proved that it pays to look like Elvis Pres ley (even if you are a girl) at the Morehead Theatre Friday night. A near-capacity crowd roared ap proval as she walked on the stage to do a pantomime to Elvis' record ing Hound Dog. Beside having the looks, Myrna | managed to go through the re quired contortions and expressions with a foot-stomping ease that left her male competition in the dust. I In addition to the honor and I county-wide fame connected with the title, Myrna was presented a I $25 savings bond by O. J. Morrow, manager of the theatre. Only performer of the night who drew more applause was Elvis him self, when he appeared on a brief film ? upside down! Walt Nieme, who acted as mas ter of ceremonies and judge of ap plause, introduced 13 contestants. Kenny Brown, Newport, was sec ond in the voting on the strength of his ability to sound like Elvi?. Kenny, who is a seasoned radio and TV entertainer at 15, played and sang I Forgot to Remember and Blue Suede Shoes. He won the life-size picture of Elvis, and said that he would give it to his sister, an Elvis Presley fan. Elvis looks approvingly over the shoulder of Myrna Willis, the El vis Presley of Carteret County. Miss Sabra Eubanks, Morehead City, wore white shoes but it made little difference in her pantomime rendition of Blue Suede Shoes, which earned her third place and an album of Elvis Presley records. Other contestants vferfc Jackie Willis, Reva Nelson. Johnny Sewell, Ronald Lawrence, David Midgett, Patsy Ritchcy, Annette Moore, Jim my Whitley, Deloss Nelson, and Ed na Mann.
