Biography

Fils d'Herbert Standing (1846-1923), frère de Guy Standing (1873-1937), Wyndham Standing (1880-1963) et Jack Standing (1886-1917), tous également acteurs, Percy Standing débute au cinéma dans le court métrage américain His Wife's Child d'Harry Solter (1913, avec Florence Lawrence et Matt Moore), étant installé aux États-Unis.

Suivent quarante autres films muets, américains ou britanniques, le dernier étant The Desert Sheik de Tom Terriss (1924, avec Wanda Hawley et Pedro de Cordoba). Entretemps, mentionnons Life Without Soul de Joseph W. Smiley (1915, avec Lucy Cotton et Pauline Curley), Every Mother's Son de Raoul Walsh (1918, avec Charlotte Walker et Edwin Stanley) et Becket de George Ridgwell (1923, avec A. V. Bramble et Mary Clare).

Après 1924, il contribue encore à trois films parlants britanniques, les deux premiers sortis en 1930, dont L'Amour maître des choses de Richard Eichberg et Walter Summers (avec Anna May Wong et Georg H. Schnell). Son ultime film est Colonel Blood de W.P. Lipscomb (1934, avec Frank Cellier dans le rôle-titre et Allan Jeayes), après lequel il se retire de l'écran.

Percy Standing meurt en Californie en 1950, à 67 ans.

In pre-World War I Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm fathers a number of illegitimate children and sends them to various parts of the world to be reared by his loyal agents. Under the guardianship of Dr. Carl Von Strumpf, one of these children, Robert Busch, grows up believing that he is the son of wealthy German-American Richard Busch, but in reality, Strumpf and Busch are servants of the Kaiser. When the United States declares war on Germany, Robert expresses his earnest desire to enlist in the American army, much to the delight of his patriotic sister Emily. Before he can do so, however, Strumpf tells Robert the secret of his parentage, believing that the young man now will be eager to fight for Germany's cause. Robert feigns enthusiasm but secretly offers his services to the U.S. government, and with the passport provided him by the Pan-German league, he goes to Germany and kills the crown prince. Next, he shoots the Kaiser and blows up the entire palace, thus sacrificing his life for the principles of democracy.
