"LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY."
Mr Hawtrey's Comedy Co. aga,in presented "Little Lord Fauntleroy" to a large audience last night, and such was the brightness and the well-studied acting that the seemed as fresh as ever it did. Of course, the success of the play depends upo\ tho measure of success attained by the child who plays the name part. Miss Addie Lorking is quite up to her work, and the awful dreariness of most child-actors is completely absent from her playing of the part. The audience manifested the greatest enthusiasm of the exquisite scenes between the Earl (Mr Hawtrey) and Tattle Lord Fauntleroy, and applauded most enthusiastically. Mr Deering's representation of Hobbs was also keenly appreciated, especially by the young folks, who formed a large part of the audience. To-night is the last performance of the play, srnd to-morrow it Avill be replaced by "The Other Man's Business." This play is declared to be particularly funny from the rise of the curtain to the fall thereof.
