Photograph of Leo Carrillo standing on a stage and speaking at the Southern Pacific Railroad employee picnic at Sycamore Grove Park. He is viewed from the side and with a worm's-eye perspective. The front of the stage is covered in patriotic decor and stretches across the bottom edge on an angle. Leo Carrillo stands at center near the front edge of the stage and faces towards the left. He is dressed in western attire. He stands at the microphone while resting an arm on a nearby stool. The rest of the stage stretches behind him to the right. Chairs and benches line the back of the stage. A few men sit on stage and look towards Leo Carrillo. Above the stage, an awning extends over the front of the stage and a sign stretches above it. The sign reads, "SOUTHERN PAC[...]." Trees stand in the background at left.
