Born in St. John's, Anderson was the son of politician John Anderson. Following an education at Bishop Feild College and Edinburgh Academy, the first few years of his career was at the family business in St. John's, after which Anderson entered the military and rose to the rank of Captain. In 1921 he became manager of a theatrical business in New York City owned by his brother John Murray Anderson. Anderson's dramatization of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Suicide Club received favourable reviews in 1929. Under the pen name of Hugh Abercrombie he wrote the musical Auld Lang Syne, and in 1954 he published, under his own name, Out Without My Rubbers, the memoirs of John Murray Anderson. Anderson was made MBE. He died at his home in Queens, New York. See also
