Orphans from the Pasadena Foundling home forced to dig flood channel for the Los Angeles Dept of public works. Chief engineer, with bullwhip, outside camera shot.
This is actually the West Coast try-outs at Tournament Park for the original Our Gang, or the Little Rascals. It's lunch-break time, and before there were fancy catering services, there were food service plots that folks planted to provide food for returning WWI vets. Worked out that the kids had to show off their chore-skills, so gardening for lunch worked right in with their auditions. Really.
