GRIFFITH TURNS A PAGE Early in 1919 Mary Pickford, after having been successful as her own producer, joined forces with Douglas Fairbanks, Charles Chaplin, and David Griffith to form the famous foursome known as United Artists. Each of the quartet was his own producer, with entire control of casting, directing, and financing. United Artists is a pretty imposing title, but judging from this shot of three of the Big Four, Charlie, Mary, and Doug didn't take their â– aesthetic responsibilities too, too seriously.
