Spectroscopic binarity of the Cepheid variable HV914 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is pointed out from the published radial velocity observational data. The list of known binaries among Cepheid type variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds is published in tabular form. The census indicates a serious deficiency of Cepheids with known companions as compared with their Galactic counterparts, whose implications are also discussed. A particular amplitude ratio (A_{V_{rad}}/A_B) of individual Magellanic Cepheids is studied in order to select promising candidates of spectroscopic binaries worthy of thorough radial velocity studies.
