Back in the 1920s, a great discovery in Egypt captured the imaginations of people around the world. The tomb of Tutankhamen was discovered undisturbed, and gave us a glimpse of the lives of the rich and famous in the ancient world of the Pharoahs. The world was gilded in all things Tut, from the newsreels to the entertainment and art world. Here's a song that captures some of the excitement as it was experienced on the vaudeville stage.
The hat was discovered back in the old Theatre costume vault. Writings on the labels and the inside of the hat was Arabic. I don't read Arabic, but I'm sure it says "This is a hat patterned after the wardrobe of Tutankamen."

From the 1920's to the 2020's, there have been lots of changes. It's nice to hear an original song from the past. I also like the hat. Great job, Gary!
