Houston...we have a problem! The article states that Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis both played the Von Theatre in Hernando, MS. early in their careers. Only partly true! Neither artist played the Von Theatre in Hernando. However, they both played the Von Theatre in Booneville, MS. early in their careers...70 miles east of Hernando and directly south of Jackson, TN. Elvis Presley & Johnny Cash played 2 shows there on January 3, 1956. Jerry Lee played there early in 1957. The Von Theatre they played had 424 seats. The Von in Hernando had 300 seats. Somebody's lying!
