To begin with, Lum is Chester Lauck and Abner is Norris Goff. Lauck is tall and dark, more than a little handsome when he doesn't have his Lum make-up on, and his nickname is Chet. Goff is shorter, lighter, four years younger, and gained the nickname of Tuffy long ago when they were both boys in Mena, Arkansas. Lum and Abner (now heard on the Blue network every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night) got to be radio stars pretty much by accident. As youngsters in Mena they used to entertain their friends with imitations of local characters, but their real ambitions had nothing to do with being entertainers. Chet wanted to be an artist, and instead became the manager of an auto finance company and later an employe of the Mena State Bank. Tuffy was his father's assistant in the Goff Wholesale Grocery Company, also of Mena. It was only outside of business hours that they got together for their impromptu dramatic skits. After one of the periodic spring floods, in April, 1931, station KTHS in Hot Springs broadcast a big flood-relief program, and Chet and Tuffy were invited to take part. It was their first experience on the air, and they planned to do a blackface comedy act. At the studio, however, they discovered that practically everyone else had had the same idea, so they switched at the last minute to an unrehearsed sketch about a couple of fictitious Arkansas characters. Listeners liked the act so much that the boys came back on the air every Sunday for two months. At the end of that time they took a vacation in Chicago and, just for the fun of it, decided to try peddling their act to a sponsor. Tuffy happened to know an executive of the Quaker Oats cereal company, so they went to him for advice on how to go about it. That's as far as they went. Quaker Oats' regular act, Gene and Glenn, was going off the air for the summer, and the company was looking for a replacement. Chet and Tuffy auditioned and, as quick as that, got the job. From 1931 until 1940 they were on the air without a break. After a short vacation they returned for their present sponsor, Alka-Seltzer. They're also engaged, right now, in making their third movie for RKO. Sometimes the program is broadcast direct from the movie set where they're working. Both Chet and Tuffy are married to Arkansas girls, and both are proud fathers. Chet has two daughters and a son, and Tuffy has one boy and one girl. Both are crazy about hunting, fishing, golfing and horses, and Tuffy makes a hobby of developing show horses. Chefs hobby — a paying one — is a gold mine in Arizona where he goes whenever he can get a couple of days off. 8:00 8:00 :00 11:00 8:30 11:15 8:45 9:00 9:00 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 10:15 10:30 10:45 11:00 11:00 12:30 11:15 11:30 11:30 11:30 11:45 11:45 11:45 12:00 12:00 12:15 12:15 12:30 12:30 12:30 12:45 1:00 1:00 1:15 1:15 1:30 1:30 1:45 1:45 2:00 2:00 2:00 2:15 2:15 2:15 2:30 5:30 2:30 2:45 2:4S 2:45 3:10 3:15 3:30 3:45 3:45 8:00 4:00 4:00 8:15 4:15 4:15 5:00 8:00 9:15 8:15 8:30 8:30 5:30 5:30 5:55 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:00 6:30 6:30 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:00 7:30 I i u 8:00 8:00 8:45 9:00 9:15 9:15 9:30 9:30 9:30 9:45 9:45 9:45 10:00 10:00 10:00 10:15 10:15 WEDNESDAY Eastern War Time 9 9 9 9 9 9 10 10 10 10 30 10 OOlll Blue: Blue: Breakfast Club NBC: Show Without a Name CBS: School of the Air ! 46 45 CBS: Hymns of All Churches 00 CBS: Valiant Lady 15 CBS: Stories America Loves 15 Blue: News 30 CBS: Honeymoon Hill 30 Blue: Hank Lawson's Knights 30 NBC Help Mate 45 CBS: Bachelor's Children 45 Blue: Chaplain Jim — U.
