Bates” in The Post in 1938 that was with Alva Johnston’s article, date the article was in The Post and/or a date of the photo and place taken and who owned the photo? Thank you.

A carnival road show for years,
Money loser, perhaps the cause,
The mummy up and disappears.
A private collector, some say,
Took the mummy from show biz strife,
Maybe looking to find a way
To bring the mummy back to life.
Cuz a mummy alive would be
A cash cow full of repertoires.
How ’bout reality T.V.?
Or how ’bout Dancing with the Stars?

The mummy of John Wilkes Booth tiz
Making a comeback in show biz.
