HAROLD LLOYD
% And Some Horped'
Made Him The Richest
Actor In The World
A My tint sight of Harold Llo/d
VM a distinct shock. I should
soTor hare known him off the
■ereen, but he says, for thaf mat
ter, no one does. For example, on
one occasion, he was at a party
with a friend who wears glasses.
'(Lloyd himself never wears them
off the screen.) This friend didn’t
resemble him at all; but erery-
dy (hought that the chap in
e horn-rimmed glasses must be
arold Lloyd.
One day as he was drifting
home from school in Omaha, Ne
braska, he came across an astrol
oger standing on a street corner
surrounded by colored charts.
This astrologer claimed he could
read your fortune by the stars.
Little Harold listened, pop-eyed
with excitement. Suddenly a fire
engine dashed by, and the other

boys ran after it. But he didn’t,
He kept listening to the astrol
oger. That was a strange thing
for a boy to do and one of the
men in the crowd noticed it.
The fellow that nolced it was
John Lane Connor, the leading
man in the Burwood Stock Com
pany of Omaha. He walked over
to Lloyd, got acquainted with him
and asked him If he knew of
some nice place where an actor
could get board and room. . . .
Did he? . . . Harold leaped- at the
chance!
Harold’s mother was a dress
maker, and his father sold sew
Ing machines. One day his father
got smashed up in an automobile
accident and hurt his back, and
the insurance company paid him
$3,500. That was a fortune, so
he decided to pack up and leave
the middle west and try his luck
somewhere else.
Finally Harold's father said:
“Let’s flip a coin. If it’s heads,
we’ll go to California. It it’s,
tails, we’ll go to New York.’’
But heads came up, so the
family moved to San Diego, and
Harold did Idd jobs about the
theatre there. Day after d.ay. he
called at the casting offices: and
day after day, he was turned a-
way. He was desperate. He must
get by that doorman. He noticed
that at noon all the actors came
out of the Universal lot and went
across the road to a lunch count
er, and he also noticed the door
man didn’t pay any attention to
them when they came back with
their grease paint on. So the next
day, Harold Lloyd hid behind a
billboard at noon, put on some
makeup himself and slipped by
the doorman in the crowd.
'There was an actor by the
name of Hal Roach who was play
ing small bits on this lot. He told
Lloyd one day that his aunt had
died and left him a little money
so he was going to make pictures
himself, comedies, and wanted
Harold to join him.
One day he picked up an idea
that was worth a fortune to him
—picked It up quite by accident.
He was tired, so he drifted into
a theatre and .saw an actor with a
straw hat and a pair of horn
rimmed glasses playing the part
of a preacher. This actor wasn’t
trying to be funny; but he was
really a scream. Lloyd decided
then and there to make horn
rimmed glasses his trade mark
and to play the part that has
since made him famous.
The funniest thing I know a-
bout Harold Lloyd is that he him-

8. S. FERGUSON,
448-4t(M) Coamisiloaer
Washington, D. C.—^The vast
majority ‘of new - construction
borne mortgages being submitted
to the Federal Housing Adminis
tration for appraisal are accom
panied by adequate plans and
speclflcatlona, a reversal of the
situation In the early days of the
program.
Administration officials attrib
ute the Improved conditions to a
number of factors, principal a-
mong which is the educational
influence of the application of
localised minimum construction
requirements and property stand
ards.
In view of the expected in
crease in the number of applica
tions Involving the construction
of new hour.es costing $6,000 or
less, the submission of adequate
plans and specifications is of
great Importance.
“Lenders, builders, and archl
tects have come during the last
three years to appreciate the ne
cesalty for submitting carefully
drawn and complete plans and
specifications,’’ an FHA official
stated.
“In the early days of the pro
gram one of the most frequent
causes for delay In processing
cases was the caliber of the arch
itectural drawings and omissions
in the specifications.
“Time and again it was neces
sary to delay action on cases un
til additional information could
be obtained from the builder or
the architect. Fortunately, one or
two experiences of this sort were
quite sufficient to demonstrate to
the builder or architect in ques
tion the necessity for making
plans and specifications conform
to standards.
“Some few cases are still sub
ject to delays for this reason,
and some few sets of plans fail
to meet minimum construction
requirements in one or two re
spects. In general, yiolatlons of
this kind are of a minor nature,
and we are often able to issue the
commitment with the condition
that the plans be changed to meet
minimum standards or requires
ments.’’
Much of the improvement is at
tributable, also, to the confer
ences with building groups which
have been held throughout the
country. Builders have come to
appreciate the importance of
good design and sound construc
tion. particularly in the field of
small-house construction.
TV A Investigation
Approved By House
Washington, March 30. — A
congressional inquiry into TVA
and the struggles of certain pri
vate utilities against the agency’s
activities became assured today
when the house passed a resolu
tion of investigation by a voice
vole. No dissent was heard.
The chamber rejected a Re
publican effort to exempt the
private power companies from
the inquiry. It also defeated a
move by western Progressives and
Farmer-Laborites to obtain a pre
liminary report on the qualifica
tions of TVA’s directors by June

until he was twenty years old.
Before that, he used to go a-
round reciting Shakespeare. And
when he first started making pic
tures, the directors told him he
wasn’t a comedian and never
could be a comedian and they ad
vised him to get out of pictures
and make his living at some
thing else. But he kept right on

is the richest actor who ever
