SUCH has been the interest in Herman's Hermits' "Museum" that MGM plan to rush release the single without waiting for full chart results on their current hit, "Don't Go Out Into The Rain."     Now firmly into their current tour, doing surprisingly well despite heavy competition on the road, The Hermits arrived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, one day last week to be met at the airport by the Governor of the State, who presented them with the keys to the city and individual certificates appointing them Honorary Colonels of Louisiana.     This entitles them to the freedom of the entire state!     The group is scheduled to guest on the Smothers Brothers Show in September, and will return in December for a Jerry Lewis Show.

have now decided NOT to accept the invitation from the Shah of Persia to perform at his Coronation at the end of this month, as the date would clash with the group's holiday. Following the Hermits' ten-day visit to Brazil in mid-November, they will undertake an eight-day Mexican tour from November 30, followed by a guest spot on U.S. TV's "Jackie Gleason Show" in Miami on December 9.
