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.

The big moment arrives, and Lum is on the spot. He has to go through with his on air wedding to the Widow Abernathy. Mose Moots wants to be sure that Lum doesn’t squirm out of the deal.

Ben Withers, Abner, and Cedric stand by for the rehearsal, all they’re waiting for is for the minister and the widow to show up. Just the thught of the wedding has Cedric weeping.

As the widow approaches, Abner and Ben give great details of the dress, hat, and fashion of the blushing bride to be. Though the widow makes her appearance, the minister can’t make the rehearsal. With a substitution or two, Abner acts as radio announcer, Lum stands in as Justice of the Peace, and the weeping Cedric as the groom. As Justice of the Peace, has Lum just married Cedric to the widow?
