George Lloyd Vintage 1922 Hand Signed Photograph Unity Studio NY Vaudeville Days

Description: My grandmother Clara “Billie“ Wines (who was born in 1898) collected these pictures as a hobby in 1914 & 1915 when she was a teenager. She either met these stars in person or wrote a letter to receive one as was the way back in her time. She hand dated on the back in pencil some of them with the year. She was born in Glencoe, IL and grew up in Chicago. These have been in a box in my closet since my father gave them to me in 1976 when she died. She was affiliated with Essanay Studios and Vitagraph Studios and the Vitagraph Theater in Chicago. All items are packed in acid-free self sealing cellophane bag and sent in a plastic bubble envelope with cardboard on sides or a cardboard flat envelope with Do Not Bend & Fragile stickers.

George Harrington Lloyd (November 5, 1892 – August 15, 1967) was an American vaudevillian and character actor. Born in Edinburg, Illinois. Lloyd appeared in over 270 films between 1932 and 1956. In the late 1920s, Lloyd had his own vaudeville troupe. George H. Lloyd was a steady, faithful character actor, mostly appearing in Westerns during his years in Hollywood (1933 - 1955). He retired from film acting in 1955, settling down with his wife in a house in Los Angeles city proper. In 1962, he and his wife divorced; as a consequence of the divorce proceedings, Lloyd lost his home and was reduced to living in a run-down section of town on Hoover Street. When he passed away on August 15, 1967 at the Veterans Administration Hospital in West Los Angeles, the only person standing by him was his one surviving daughter, Georgene Lloyd Kelly.Lloyd was buried at Los Angeles National Cemetery in West Los Angeles; he had served honorably as a staff sergeant during World War I, and had therefore earned the right to a free burial and headstone in the veteran's cemetery of his choice. The United States Government bestowed upon him an impressive white flat-stone marker with all of his wartime accomplishments inscribed on it. With his large nose, furtive look and stocky build he was often cast as a secondary film heavy -- a henchman in westerns and thug in crime dramas.
