D. W. Griffith Visiting Chicago Newspaper with Gish Girls

(Original Caption) Guess Who This Is! Sure, know him anywhere, would you, but did you know that D. W. Griffith used to be a typesetter on his brother's newspaper twenty six years ago, and that he was "promoted" to wrapper and later reporter on the Louisville Courier Journal? Yes, sires, and just to see what it was like to be back at his old job again, you will see him busily engaged. He is visiting Chicago, with the Gish girls, who are also in this photo, and is showing them the wonders of the newspaper game. As Dorothy says, why go to a cabaret when you can get more excitement in a newspaper plant? Griffith is wrapping mail here.
