The Gentle Art of Excavating: A New Multi-Movement Drag Shovel at Work on the Foundations of a Super Deluxe Cinema, c.1938" This intriguing photograph captures the humorous and unconventional process of excavating the foundations for a new super deluxe cinema in the late 1930s. The excavation is being carried out using a multi-movement drag shovel, a rickety and convoluted contraption made from recycled bits of houses and other machinery. The digger, with its complicated and humorous design, is a far cry from the modern, sleek excavators we are familiar with today. Despite the digger's appearance, the work is progressing steadily, with a number of cinema-goers patiently waiting nearby, no doubt eagerly anticipating the arrival of their new cinematic haven. The scene is reminiscent of the inventive and resourceful spirit of the past, where ingenuity and humor were key components of engineering projects. The photograph is a testament to the gentle art of excavating, showcasing the intricacies and challenges of the process, as well as the determination and creativity of those involved.

This photograph is a must-have for anyone with an interest in engineering, history, or the humorous side of life. It is a reminder that even the most mundane tasks can be made interesting and entertaining with a little creativity and a sense of humor.
