-Comment: I think 4 boys in blue sailor suits and one girl in a white sailor dress. Maurice Murphy (1913-1978 "Curly Top") as young Beau Geste and Philippe De Lacy (1917-1995) as brother Digby (2nd pic on right).
That's the first Beau Geste movie b/w, but originally also containing Technicolor scenes. Silent film, and quite long for that time 129 minutes (Video only 101 minutes). Completely on YouTube but in bad image quality.
The sailor suit scenes at the water with the paper hats looking very close to the 1939 movie (starring Gary Cooper and Donald O'Conner as younger Beau, see also that entry, rating 7) but I haven't noticed a boy in a white sailor suit. I have also added another pic there. I like De Lacy and these classical child stars, already 2 more entries with him. He even looks similar to Ronald Sinclair (aka Ra Hould).
Sadly the image quality is so bad. Maybe the 1939 version is better. For more see that entry. Some better publicity pics and more infos at
