It had been seven years since Lou had seen the collection of human embryos at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. As a concessionaire in 1927 something triggered his memory he thought of  all those people standing enraptured before the display cases. Lou was thirty-two years old and by that time, a seasoned showman. The place was Shreveport, Louisiana, where a lineup of people was spotted waiting to enter a tent where Dr. Albert Jones was exhibiting a collection of twenty human specimens at the local fair. He was a local doctor with a good practice and no desire to enter show business. Lou studied his operation and related it to his Smithsonian incident, and decided this was "it." After several days of persuasion, the doctor relented and sold him the collection.

It was named the "Unborn" and added several biological exhibits, it opened with the Johnny J. Jones Shows in Largo, Fla., in early 1928. After the show had move to Fort Myers, Florida Lou received an excited call one morning from the fair manager. He had to get over to the grounds at once, to the exhibit. Without getting an explanation, he hurried down. The reason was the quartet of Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and a Dr. Goodman, who had come to see the "Unborn" Show. Lou opened the show and made the pitch for them. When they expressed approval and enthusiasm He knew he really had something with his assortment of human embryos.

Edison was deaf so Lou hollered into his old-fashioned horn that he held to his ear. I asked what impelled them to come so early in the day, and Edison explained, "Last night I had these gentlemen to my home as dinner guests and all my wife could talk about was your exhibit. We decided to see for ourselves - and I'm glad we came. . . ."

It took a full day until Lou realized what he had under his control. If men of above - average intelligence would go to a dusty fairgrounds for the experience, it had to be worthwhile.

The Unborn was an instant success, he had a gold mine in his back yard. By 1929 the Unborn had been exhibited in White City Park and Overview Park in Chicago, and with the Johnny J. Jones, and many other shows.

Ward Hall tells about one of his experiences, "On that circus somebody had left and they were short an act on that circus program.  I went to Bob Steven and said Bob I will do the act for you I will do the juggling act for you.  You don’t have to pay me but I want a privilege, he said what is it?  I said I want to put a two headed baby as a second blowoff in the sideshow.  I will give you twenty five percent.  He said OK fine.  That was good I had the blow off booked but the problem was I didn’t have a two headed baby so I went down town and found a dime store of something and bought two rubber dolls, I cut the head off of one and glued it on to the other one put a piece of tape over the whistle in the back it said momma when you squeezed it painted it brown.  I found a Tom’s peanut jar in a restaurant.  I said how about selling me the peanut jar?  I think they sold it to me for about ten dollars.  When we put the baby in it we just turned it so that Tom’s lettering was on the opposite side filled it full of water and put some tea in it so it would be to clear.  We stuck the thing in there, I made an opening about this little two headed baby.  We took denotations.  It worked very well and I also was performing at the big show.  The next year the man that owned Seal Brother’s Circus his son Norman Anderson was going to cut the show down some what I think we got it down to eight or nine truck from fourteen or fifteen. He wanted us to come over and run the sideshow.  We went to Venice California that’s where the winter quarter’s were.  We went out there and helped him re-frame the show.  The day the show opened it was the same thing happened, there was a family coming out one of them was juggling, one of them something else and the other was going to be the announcer.  So here came the opportunity so I said Norman I have a deal for you I will announce the show I will do the juggling act and I will do the balancing act on the ladder and in exchange you don’t have to pay me anything, I just what to have the blowoff with the two headed baby in the sideshow. Over the course of the winter I had found a wax studio, they made me a real good looking two headed baby.  I put it in a good medical jar.  The year before when I had that real phony one Bob Stevens thought it was just great.  Anytime a visiting showmen would come around he would tell them you got to see this. This is the best three dollar and seventy cent investment that has ever been done in the sideshow business or the circus business."

Capt. Boswell operated just about every type of sideshow, grind and pit show in the business. For many years he operated live wild and freak animal shows. After he finished touring with his animal shows, he started and ran the second largest exhibitor of Pickled Punks in the business right behind Lou Dufour, The  King of the Unborn Shows. Pickled Punks were still born oddities and carnies would use the term, (but never in front of the general public) in describing deformed fetuses preserved in formaldehyde. These were prime exhibit material. Often faked, and often presented as human, animal, "What Is It?", or even "alien" fetuses very often as the deformed offspring of crazed degenerate drug addicts, they were displayed in large jars. After 17 years he decided that he would no longer run the punk shows because there was a lot of controversy over the exhibition of human remains and freaks. So these shows went the way of the Old Iron Lung, Geek, Posing, Torture, Dope, Crime and many others shows you no longer see on American Midways. 

Bobby Reynolds is another showman that had success adding a baby show.  Other showmen have exhibited pickled punks and bouncers over the years. - John Robinson Sideshow World
