HOLLYWOOD, February 25.—Death of Sir Guy Standing, 63-year-old Eng- 1ish actor, saddened the international industry of motion pictures today. The noted character star, knighted for service to his country in the World War, was seised by a fatal heart attack on s business errand in Hollywood yesterday. His brother, Wyndham Standing, also a film actor, waited today for word from S8ir Guy’s third wife, now in London, before completing fumeral arrangements. She is an actress known on the stage as Dorothy Ham- mond, Bitten by Spider. Hig¢ bearing smartly military, the famous Englishman had managed to conceal in recent months that he was siling from the effects of a black widow spider’s bite, suffered in 1934 while he playing a stern old colonel in e Bengal Lancers.” Priends said the bite may have been an indirect cause of his death. A moment before he collapsed, Sir Guy told a questioner, “I never felt better in my life.” Born in London, he was eldest son of a theatrical family. When the ‘World War broke out, he interrupted his career to serve in the British Navy. | He rose to the rank of commander, | seeing duty in the Dover patrol and in | the intelligence service. | Played in “Annapolis Farewell.” Two decades later, he imparted something of the salty flavor of his | experiences to the superannuated American naval hero of Annapohs Farewell.” He was divorced from his first 'fle the late Isabel Urquehart. His second | wife, Blanche Burton, now dead, was the mother of his two children, Guy, Jr.; and Katherine, both stage players. | MRS.
