This Actor Wrote
a Role for Himself

Fate or chance or destiny or luck has
been very busy lately with the affairs
OF Percival Knight. Not 80 long ago Mr..
Knight was known to New York and
American audiences as q player of com
sdians roles in musical comedy. To-
light he is playing the lead In his own
comedy drama, Thin Ice" at the Com
edy Theater. He has jumped almost
overnight from the broad roles with
n. .usical settings to one which Observers
OF the theater say requires fincsen.
And II came about by chance Three
months ago Mr.. Knight got an idea for
a play. He did not have the slightest
intention of playing IN 1t himself. but
the theme appealed 10 him--that Of a
captain OF the world war. of English
birth. working In an American family
a. a butler. He wrote detailed scc-
mario and then finished his play with
the dialogue. lie then wrote to Mr.. Lee
shubert that he had a play to submit Of
Lis own authorship.
Mr.. Shubert had known Mr.. Knights
work as comedian In Apple Bios
SONS" 1.-THE Arcadians" and other niusI-
cal comedies. So he wrote TO Mr. knight
to send In his manuscript. The author
l,ft the play at the Shubert Offices. The
next day he was summoned by telephone
and told that the manuscript had been
read without delay and was so good that
II would be produced. That was "a
month ago.
At their first conference over the play
Mr.. knight and Mr.. shubert began the
work OF casting. They did not think
offhand OF any player for the leading
role of Buybrtdoe. the army officer mas
querading as a butler.
The casting OF the other characters
Completed. Mr.. knight asked Mr.. Shu-
bert.
Now, who Is going TO play the but
