So This Is Washington
2265. SO THIS IS WASHINGTON (1943-USA). WITH LUM AND ABNER, ALAN MOWBRAY. POPULAR RADIO PERSONALITIES LUM EDWARDS (CHESTER LAUCK) AND ABNER PEABODY (NORRIS GOfF) MAKE A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO THE SCREEN IN THIS SHARP, AFFABLE COMEDY. THESE RURAL RUBES ARE PROPRIETORS Of THE JOT ‘EM DOWN GENERAL STORE IN PINE RIDGE, ARKANSAS. WORLD WAR II IS ON AND IT IS A TIME FOR RATION BOOKS AND AIR RAID WARDENS, AND FOR ALL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS TO PITCH IN AND HELP WITH THE WAR EFFORT. A RADIO APPEAL IS MADE FROM WASHINGTON TO THE “COMMON” MAN FOR IDEAS AND INVENTIONS. LUM AND ABNER ARE AS COMMON AS THEY COME. IT SEEMS THAT AMATEUR INVENTOR ABNER HAS PERFECTED A CONÂCOCTION THAT WAS MEANT TO BE LICORICE BUT IS MORE LIKE SYNTHETIC RUBBER. LUM IS IMPRESSED. THAT’S THE GREATEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN,” HE DECLARES. IF PROPERLY USED, HE FIGURES THAT IT WILL SERVE A DOUBLE PURÂPOSE: MAKE THEM RICH AND HASTEN VICTORY. SO THE BOYS HEAD TO WASHINGTON TO SHOW OfF THE SUBSTANCE TO THE PROPER AUTHORITY. FOR CERTAIN, WASHINGTONIANS WILL NEVER AGAIN BE THE SAME ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE WISDOM AND WIT Of LUM AND ABNER! 64 MINUTES. COMEDY
