Lum and Abner – Mousey Shows Travel Slides. 420909

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.

As we look in on Pine Ridge, we find Lum and Abner are still trying to plan where to spend a few days on vacation. Mousey and Cedric are to come over to give an illustrated lecture on vacation spots. Will it be some far flung place like New York, or San Fransisco?

Abner wonders, “Will Mousey’s illustrated slides be some of Snake Hogan’s magic lantern slides?” The free, introductory trip to promote the travel agency really isn’t going to be free. It could cost $5.

Hanging blankets over the windows, Mousey and Cedric get their presentation ready. What do wheat fields of the mid-west, school houses, or family pictures of Mousey’s inlays have to do with scenes of New York? There’s still one more catch to get that free trip to New York.
