LITTLE LORD TAUNTLERoY.
This week Little Lord Fauntleroy will be
seen at the Theatre. While the play has
never been produced in Richmond there
are perhaps few who are not familiar with
the story Of the little lord. Mrs. Burnetts
beautiful story, though only written i've
wears ago, has become n household tale,
and Cedric Enrol Lord Fauntleroyl lives
everywhere in the hearts Of the little folk
of the nursery. Very shortly after the
story appeared It was dramatiZed and put
upon the stage, and from the very outset
met with unqualified success. Night after
night it was played at the Lyceum Theatre
IN London before crowded audiences.
Such a hold did the story have upon the
people that in six months almost half the
bows in London were dressed III Fauntle-
roy costumes.
When the play was brought 70 New
York it met with the same popularity 1t
had achieved IN London. and ran for 800
nights at the Broadway Theatre. The au-
dicnces were, if anything. more sympa-
thetic III America than in England. and
the pure. beautiful story fastened itself
deeper and deeper in the popular heart.
The company which plays Lord faunt-
leroy here this week is under the personal
management Of Mr.. +. II. French, manager
of the Broadway Theatre. which assures
fine rendition Of the play. The engage
ment begins with Thursday night, and the
play will be repeated Friday and Saturday
nights and al matinee on Saturday.
