Lum and Abner – Back To Nature. 420908

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.

Still looking for a place to spend their vacation, Lum and Abner discuss landmarks to see. Taking a note from their famous, fictitious book, Gilbert the Boy Traveler, Lum suggests an idea. Should the gents get away from it all, and return to nature?

Lum wants to take only their brains and bare hands to carve out a place to relax. Abner thinks he’d rather take Gilbert along with them on the trip. Will Abner settle for a trip to Texas, and visiting relatives?

Sticks, bugs, and other intrusions on creature comforts begin to wear Lum down. What will he eat? Maybe a mattress to sleep on? How about a checkerboard? Will a roadside cabin be rugged enough for him? A hotel… maybe? Movies? Music? Dancing? Nothing like the rugged, back to nature life.
