Robert Anderson, called "The Greatest Dane Sine Hamlet." supports Dorothy Phillips io the Universal star's epochal success. "Once to Every Woman." He was born in Odense. Denmark, and began his dramatic career on the speaking stage there and in other European countries. -Four and a half years ago he came to America and immediately blazed a trail across the screen that is the envy of hundreds of aspiring young photoplayers. A sympathetic understanding of the complex nature of what is generally known as a "boob" has enabled Anderson to depict the role of a rural Romeo with delightful realism. His first big part of that kind was with D. W. Griffith, in "Hearts of the World," in which production he depicted the laughable role of "Monsieur Cuckoo." His first work in a photodrama In which Miss Phillips starred was in "The Hearts of Humanity," Allen Holtibar's masterful Universal war-drama. So capable was Anderson's portrayal of the role of "Paul" in that, production that he was again summoned to Universal City when Allen Houlabar beran production on "Once to Every Woman." This picture will be shown at the Richmond theatre. MURRAY. , t In "The White Dove," the Robert-Fon-C'ole special feature,, which la to be seen here at the Murray theatre, is shown a thrilling runaway through a quaint English village. This rapid bit of "action paves the way for one of the greatest scenes in this startling story of married life. i .. . " Frank Leroux has come home for the first time in five years.

Warner) the dying man reveals the secret of his love affair with the doctor's wife, several years before. The doctor -al ways had considered his wife, now dead, almost a saint, and this conviction from the lips of the dying man causes him months of misery, which are only ended by the most unusual and surprising climax. "The White Dove" is based on the novel by William J. Locke, and was directed by Henry King at the Jesse D. Hampton studios. MURRETTE. "Worlds Apart" is the title of Eugene O'Brien's latest Selznick Picture which the Jflurrette theatre presents as its principal photoplay attraction. ,. There are many reasons to believe that his production will provide a more than usually enjoyable evening's entertainment. The first and principal one is, of course, the star himself, and the announcement that in one series of scenes in this John Lynch story he appears as Master of the Hunt and leaves a field of thoroughbreds over the famous W.arrenon Course in Virginia, should be a source of keen anticipation to the many admirers of Eusene O'Brien. WASHINGTON. Dame Nature gave Miss Greenwood a physical equipment for playing grotesque characters in farces, and along with this she has the ability to make people laugh at will. She will be seen at. the Washington theatre, on March 17, in her play, Linger Longer Leity" (entirely different from her former success, "So Long Letty"). The play concerns one Letty, whose culinarv and home-making accomplishments have led her family to make her the goat. None of the other members of the family can sew, coolc or do anything except go into society. In this new play, Miss Greenwood has excellent opportunities to portray her ability as a comedienne, and one of the hits of the play is Letty's travesty on those "Back to Nature" dances, which have attained popularity among the high-brow element of today. A large chorus tasitly gowned help out considerably and there are three song hits: "Linger Longer Letty," "Twentieth Century Lullaby" and "Ladder of Love." Oliver Moroso is sending the entire company and production direct from the Fulton theatre and it will be seen in Richmond exactly as it was presented in New York City.

Charlotte Greenwood, popular musical com.edy star will appear here in "Linger Longer Letty" wheih will show at the Washington theatre, March 17. Miss White is recognized as one of the drollest stars on the musical comedy stage of today. The
period and has a profound effect upon it. That the future or the world would be different if the Wilson of 1919 had had the strengthand endurance of the Wilson of 1913 no one whatever will deny, and it is only his enemies who will deny that it would be a better future. "What might have been" is of course the least exact of ail possible fields of discussion. But omitting all that and taking for one moment such detachment as is now possible, and merely comparipg Wilson with the other figures of his time, it is simple fact to say he had reaches of imagination and vision that no others attained. If his health had endured maybe he .night have carried the world into those higher reaches with him and secured it there forever. (Copyright 1921 by the New York Evening Post, Inc.)
