Photograph caption dated May 25, 1957 reads, "This Humboldt penguin from west coast of South America is either pointing out direction taken by fleeing villains or making pitch for gold bricks. If it's the latter, he seems to have lost two customers as his friends in background are leaving. All three live at Griffith Park Zoo, and provide lots of entertainment for visitors."; See images #00116061 through #00116066 for all photos in this series.
