66* named on Film Daily's list of the year's 10 best pictures. Llryd won this distinction agu,in in 1924 with "Sea hawk," in 1933 with "Cavalcade," in 1934 with "Berkeley Square," and, of course, with "iViuti ny on the Bounty" in 1935* The son of a mecn^nical engineer, Lloyd is nearly six feet tall and bears little resemblance to the movie director of fiction. He is si ..spoken and never reveals irritation, but few directors cm e^ual h'm in extracting the maximum dnm-atic value from a scene. Lloyd and his wife and vheir aaughter, Alma, who recently began a carreer as an actress , live in Beverly Hills and tnej have a ranch home near Whit tier, t suburb of Los Alleles. The 4o-acre r^nch is Lloyd's hobby. He confesses that there is no money to be m~de in the venture, but that it's lots of fun. Lloyd also raises blooded Irish terriers. Lloyd smokes cigarettes, reads detective stories and books on philosophy, and is superstitious about whistling. He has a distinct aversion to the song "Home Sweet Home," although he doesn't know why. His early ambition was to become a 3 tiler, much as other boys have wanted to become railroad engineers, but the theatre soon superseded this desire. Always an active participant in affairs of the »totion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences, Lloyd 'was at one time its treasurer and he is now a member of the board of governors.
