Lloyd Bacon
Lloyd Francis Bacon (December 4, 1889 – November 15, 1955) was an American screen, stage and vaudeville actor and film director. As a director he made films in virtually all genres--westerns, musicals, comedies, gangster films, crime dramas, etc.,--and was one of the directors at Warner Bros. in the '30s who helped give that studio its reputation for gritty, fast-paced "torn from the headlines" action films.

“The Landlord is a gentleman ... who does not earn his wealth. He has a host of agents and clerks that receive for him. He does not even take the trouble to spend his wealth. He has a host of people around him to do the actual spending. He never sees it until he comes to enjoy it. His sole function, his chief pride, is the stately consumption of wealth produced by others.”
—David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
“It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
