Lum and Abner – President Of The Gold Mine. 420817

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 gents are determined to fight for the gold mine that rightfully belongs to their foundling baby. Amid taking orders for deliveries, Lum tells Abner why he ought to be the self appointed president of the gold mine. Abner knows the baby can’t run the mine, but he feels the office should be voted on fair and square. Cedric enters, and just may be the disinterested party they need to settle the dispute over the presidency.

Abner is nervous, and jumpy as a rabbit’s nose, as the secret ballots are cast. Of course, with Cedric involved, the ballots need to be recast more than once. Who will win? Lum, Abner, Little Charlie, or….. huh?

Squire enters with word from his lawyer. An uphill battle with the sister who already has a firm claim to the gold mine is in their future. Squire is ready and willing to go forward with the matter. How did that election come out?
