roy which in book form proved such
a great success and, dramatized, has
even done better.
1T was presented at the National
last night by the original New York
company and, as elsewhere, won the
audience from garret to cellar. Tom
my Russell did Fauntleroy last night
and all the women in the audience
and nine-tenths of the men were in
love with him right from the begin
ming. -Wallie Eddinger's Dick, the
bootblack, divided the honors with the
little lord and brought down the house
with rush. Mr. BaSsett's Mr.. Hobbs
was better in action than in makeup.
Miss Lytton's Minna was done with
excellent spirit. Mr.. Frank Aiken's
Earl of Dorincourt was a fine ex-
ample of ill-natured, spoiled nobn-
ity and Miss Lowells Mrs. Enrol was
gentle and to the life. The cast gen.
orally was unusually good"
At the time that Washington au-
diences were delighting in Mrs. Bur-
nett'S genius, as set forth in the dram
atized Fauntleroy, her own life was
ShadoWed by the serious illness Of her
elder son, Lionel, then in his last year
in the Franklin Public School. He
was taken abroad for the benefits of
travel, European medical advice and
famous health resorts, but loving eff
forts were in vain and, as she said,
"the deepest sorrow" of her life fell
upon her heart December z, 1890,
when ne died.
A letter written regarding the loss
of this beloved son has also been pre-
sented to the Fauntleroy Literary So
ciety by Mr.. Nathan Wallack.

They land with thuds which Miss
Herdman has made singularly sick
ening to the masculine ear.
The four women, in the order In
which they are introduced, are Mary
Calder, professionally Langdon's as
sistant editor on a nationally circu-
lated magazine and privately his mis-
treSs; Janet, his ambitious wife; Mrs.
Langdon. his long suffering, patrician
mother; and Delight, his daughter,
just out of college.
In his relations with all four, Paul
Langdon is a failure; not brilliant
failure, but a person foredoomed to
come of an unbelievably bad second
best in his every encounter with
womankind. Miss Herdman asks the
reader to believe that Langdon is the
successful editor of liberal monthly
magazine designed for the so-called
intelligentsia. If her request is ra-
tional, then the success of such maga-
zines can only be aScribed to some
divinely engineered scheme beyond the
comprehension of man who is mortal.

tory, part anthropology. part auto
biography" yet, even with this pom
derous sounding description, it is in
teresting reading-especially so today,
in the light of the popular knowledge
of the old sea tragedy.
Yet the author must be absolved
from the implication that he has
merely sought to make copy out of a
popular theme. 1t seems that the
Bounty has been a hobby of his for
long, his interest dating from 1922
when, student of anthropology at
Harvard, he decided to make a study
OF the colony founded so desperately
by Englishmen and Tahitian women.
And, we are informed, he was given
more than II years to gathering the
material contained in his present book.
From an examination of many rec
ords he sets down what seems to him
the most likely account of the events
on Pitcairn-how the men fell to
fighting over women a few years after
the colony was founded; how all the
native men and all but two whites
were killed as result; how the two
remaining "repented" and decided to
give their lives to educating the chill
dren Of the colony in righteous con-
duct; how, ironically, the one of the
pair who had decent schooling died,
leaving the entire responsibility in
the hands of John Adams, who could
just write his name and spell out the
Bible; and how, by 1903, when, after
18 years the first ship touched on the
island, community of decent, we'll
hammered healthy people, speaking
good English and careful Of religious
observances. had been formed. And
from this point he traces the colony
through the years to the present, going
carefully into the effects of its isola-
ton, its mixed descent and inevitable
inbreeding.
On the last score 1t will be inter-
esting to learn that he sees no effect
except lin the degeneration of their
dentitions." He includes in his book
the laws and regulations of the island,
examines the language changes which
have come about and publishes his
own diary of his stay there in 1884
and 1885,.
But, agreeable as it is to know the
present of the mutineers' descendants,
deeper interest must appertain to the
careers Of the originals, and particular
ly to that OF Fletcher Christian. who
is devil or angel in every account.
Capt. Bligh, of course, had no mercy
for him in his own published record,
but it will hardly be assumed that
that worthy officer spoke in perfect
impartiality. DR.. Shapiro brings out
Of the accumulated documents the in
formation that Christian was surpris-
ingly young; he was only "a at the
time of the mutiny. DR.. Shapiro also
adds the following significant state
ment taken from the records of Capt.
Beechey, who visited Pitcairn in 1925,
long after Christians death.
Christian was always cheerful, and
his example was of the greatest serv-
ice in exciting his companions to
labour. He was naturally of a happy,
ingenious disposition, and won the
good opinion and respect Of all who
served under him: which cannot be
better exemplifed than by his main
