Walter Anthony

Walter Anthony (February 13, 1872 in Stockton, California – May 1, 1945 in Hollywood, California) was a screenplay, titles, and documentary film writer. Before Walter started writing in films he was a dramatic and musical critic for The San Francisco Call, San Francisco Chronicle, and Seattle Post-Intelligencer. 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."
