These gentlemen of exalted chests

Glenn Anders One of
Youngest Leading Men
OF Broadway Season

Perhaps none of the younger men of
the speaking stage to-day has taken a
more metcoric jump to prominence
than Glenn Anders, now appearing in
Adolph Klauber's successful farce
comedy, "Scrambled Wives" at the Full
ton Theater. Andcrs has the leading
Juvenile role opposite Roland Young
and Juliette Day in this comedy
Only few seasons ago young Anders
was playing over vaudeville circuit
in virtual obscurlty. The early part of
last season he left the variety stage

Oliver Morosco was casting for "Civil-
ian Clothes" he landed Juvenile berth
with this Offering, and played the sea

the New York run Of "Civilian Clothes"
only few weeks elapsed before Mr.
Anders was cast for Victor Herberts
comedy, "Oui, Madame" which never
reached Broadway. following it's run

While playing opposite Georgic
O'Ramey in this Victor Herbert piece.
Mr.. Anders was seen by we'll known
motion picture producer who chanced
to see the show in Philadelphia. This
producer, judging MIR. Andcrs solely
from the motion picture standpoint,
was so impressed by his appearance
and his possible Photographic quail
ties that he induced MIR. Anders to
have n screen test taken, which in
"move" language means to act before
the camera for 100 or more feet of
film, so that it may be seen just how
the subject photographs. The test
proved that MIR. Anders screened 100
per cent. Two weeks later he received
notice that he was wanted by this COM
pany to work as leading man opposite
one Of it's best known feminine stars.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, as it
may prove to have been, Mr.. Anders
had, the day before receiving this
notice, been cast by Adolph Klauber,
for the juvenile lead in "Scrambled
Wives" and as result Of his work in
this comedy one Of the hits Of the sea-
son, MIR. klauber is understood to have
offered young Andcrs a three-yea con-
tract for his exclusive services.

In Memoriam.

Died at the home of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. S. T. Middleton, 4l93
Washington Avenue, lSt. Louis, Mo-,
Thursday, May 20, 1920, Ward Lee
Middleton, aged % years and 28days.
Deceased was born at Belleview,
Mo-, and was for many years a resi-
dent of Iron county. War having
been declared against Germany, on
June LIST, 1917, he enlisted in the army
and served nearly two years, with
Company D, 138th Infantry. After
training at Camp Doniphan, Oklaho-
ma, he sailed with his regiment to
France on May LIST, 1918, and took
part in the Argonne- Mouse drive.
In one of those terrible battles he was
severely gassed and rendered unfit for
further active service.
At the close of the war he was sent
home, landing at Newport News,
April %, 1919, and discharged at Camp
Funston May 18th. Thence he re-
turned home and sought to resume
the duties Of citizenship; but the eff
fects of the casing chung to him and
developed into tuberculosis. He was
able to work only a few weeks and was
taken to the Marine Hospital, where
he remained three months; but his
closing days were at the home of his
parents, his suferings alleviated by
the love and care of all about him. He
died in peace with full trust in the re-
ward promised the true and faithful.
The remains were brought to Ironton
and committed to the final haven of
all.
To the mourning relatives and
friends of Ward Lee Middleton, cut
off in the flower of youth, with life
opening to him, words of consolation
just now are empty sounds; but as
Time, the healer of all wounds, passes
with soothing touch, we trust the balm
of sympathy may serve to abate the
SORROWS of the bereaved. That sym
pathy is extended them from all who
know them or knew the loved one
now at peace, freed from ''life's fitful
fever"
