ENTERTAINMENT HISTORY ! ------------------------------------
On July ninth, 1935, Jimmy Stewart's first film, "Murder Man," opened.
In 1955, Pat Boone released his version of "Ain't That A Shame," which
became his first number-one hit. In 1956, Dick Clark made his debut as
host of "Bandstand" on a Philadelphia TV station. The name was changed
to "American Bandstand" when it went to ABC. In 1968, The Temptations
appeared at the Valley Forge Music Fair in Pennsylvania without
baritone David Ruffin. He had been fired by Motown Records because he
wanted to change the direction of the band. He was later rehired as a
solo artist. In 1971, Jim Morrison of The Doors was buried in Paris,
six days after he was found dead in a bathtub. Word of Morrison's death
was finally given to the press after the burial, apparently to spare
family members from being approached by reporters. In 1972, Paul
McCartney began a European tour in France with his band Wings. It was
his first tour since the last Beatles tour in 1966. In 1975, Cher filed
court papers to dissolve her marriage to Gregg Allman of The Allman
Brothers. They had been married just nine days. In 1981, The Jacksons
kicked off a 36-city tour, which grossed them $5.5 million dollars and
led to "The Jacksons Live" album. In 1995, the Grateful Dead gave their
last concert with Jerry Garcia, at Chicago's Soldier Field. In 1999,
Rolling Stone Mick Jagger and model Jerry Hall divorced. They were
together for 21 years. The court hearing took 12 minutes. In 2001, the
Backstreet Boys announced they were postponing their tour because
singer A.J. McLean was entering rehab. Today's Birthdays: Actor James
