Her voice Is strong for such tot, and her intonation Is al- ways correct. Her acting is as natural as acting can be. She seems to really feel the character. To illustrate with just one scene Near the close of the second act the adventures, about to leave after her stormy interview with the Earl, turns to the little Lord and calls him Cedric Errol. "Call him Lord Fauntleroy," thunders the Earl. The adventures with contemptuous tone again filings the name, Cedric Errol, in the child's face. At this insult, Georgle springs in front of the Earl and exclaims: My name Is Lord Fauntleroy!' Her voice, properly pitch ed, was tremulous with pride, defiance and dignity and her manner was highly dramatic. Everything was perfectly nat ural. It did not seem to be something which the same child does four times n week. Her attitude was thoroughly un- affected. The applause was tumultuous. Many times during the performance scores of handkerchiefs stole to glisten- ing eyes"
