About this person
At the time he came to work for the Post-Intelligencer in 1919, Seattle magazine The Town Crier described him as, "one of the few really authoritative critics of music and the drama in America." Writing in 1942 in a guest column for Walter Winchell, Lionel Barrymore singled out Anthony among the "great stage critics."
