Lum and Abner – Making Lum President of VPR. 470422

Lum and Abner in a Publicity Photo. 5x6. In this black and white publicity photo, two men, Lum and Abner, are posing together in a studio. They are dressed in suits and ties, with Abner on the left wearing a hat and holding a cane, while Lum on the right has his hands in his pockets. They are smiling at the camera with a friendly and approachable demeanor, creating a sense of warmth and familiarity. The photo has a vintage feel, reflecting the era in which they were popular radio personalities.

With a new business opportunity staring at them, Lum sets himself up as the program director of the Voice of Pine Ridge radio station. What kind of shows does he have planned? Will he allow Abner to take on that executive role instead?

Ben Withers enters. Will he have any input on running a radio station? He has been having troubles of his own with a fire at the jail house, and with his new bloodhound, but Abner tries to pick his brain about radio topics.

Lum keeps muddying the waters, and interupting Abners questions to Ben. It’s all Lum’s ploy to forse Abner to come to him to ask executive advice. The reverse psychology seems to be working. Maybe it’d just be better to let Lum take over as president of theradio station.
