Mrs. Burnett's Charming Little
Story.
"Little Lord Fauntleroy" in its
dramatized form is listed for an early
production in this city. Who that
reads does not know the story of Lit
tle Lord Fauntleroy. Who that
thinks fails to appreciate its tender
pathos ; its exquisite humor, and its
simplicity of character Who so young
that cannot understand it, and who
so dead to all gentler impulses that
the purity of its sentiment will not
quicken. If Mrs Burnett had never
written another book her name would
go down to posterity as the authoress
of the most fascinating, simply and
successful work that ever came from
the press, or was put upon the stage.
It will be presented at Metropolitan
Hall tonight by Mr. French's own
company from the Boadway Theatre,
