Reporter Finds Famous Actress
a "Real Human"
Here Before in sThe Awaken
ing of Helena Richie"

Margaret Anslin, who plays at the
Grand theater in "Billeted" tonight,
travels, as Mrs. Howard Huff, and Mr..
Huff travels with her. You would
take them to be just the ordinary, nice,
cultured. devoted welded couple, with
country villa, and green grass and
flowers, and afternoon tea served out
under the trees. The environment of
the usual hotel does not seem to fit
either of them.
Miss Anglin looks very much like
the pictures you see of her. But no
picture could give any idea of the
quality of her voice. There is a SYM
pathy and richness seldom found in
American voices. Perhaps the thing
which appeals most about her, is that
she seems so human. She isn't the
type of aloof, view-me- on-my -pedes-
tai actress that you expect to find
when you know that she has been a
favorite actress of the American pub
lie for years.
Is Charming Talkcr.
She sat right down and chatted with
the reporter as if they had been ac-
ouaintances for a long time. If she
had asked about the baby, 1t would not
have been surprising. As it was, the
reporter had to pull herself up short
every little bit, and realize that what
she was there for, was to get story
about Miss Anglin.
She opened the season in Philadel-
phia last year with "Billeted," and
then went on to New York with it
where it took" Later, she went with
her husband to California, and expect
ed not to act for awhile, not having
much heart for it. Mr.. Huff en-
tered military service, and was only
prevented from going to France by
the signing of the armistice.
So, in coming west again, she decld-
ed to continue with this play because
it pleases and entertains. 1t is hgn'
comedy, but was built around wal
situations, with all of the gloom left
out.
Miss Anglin played in Lawrence last
night, and was greatly pleased WITH
the audience, which she described AZ
being urban" This morning she
visited the university and watched {
| rehearsal of the Greek play, Electra,
which is shortly to be presented there
She expressed herself as being much
impressed with the talent shown. ano
the manner in which the play is being
directed. She has played in the Greek
plays herself, but felt the strain was
too severe, after the beginning of the
war. so gave UP plays of that nature
for the time being.
Here Many Years Ago.
She played at the Grand theater ir

some years ago. She thinks it was

nine years ago.
Nothing that can be written hall
does justice to Miss Anglin's charm
and personality. Greater praise car

or just plain woman, than that she |:
real. And that is one of the first anC

Why had Payne Orion had to die?

Mr.. Frederick spoke to me. 1 heard
his voice, but did not grasp anything
