Beatles Get Jelly Beans In Capital
The Beatles performed in Washington at the Capitol's Washington Coliseum before about 8,000 young fans who showered the stage with jelly beans and other items. The group wore gray suits and played as fans screamed and bought Beatles merchandise. After the show they aided raffle prizes at a charity ball at the British Embassy before heading to New York for Carnegie Hall concerts.
