Referring to the Conipay, the Nelson Colonist says:—A bumoer house greeted this Company last evening, when the dramatised version of Little Lord Fauntleroy was placed on the boards. Of the plot of the piece no mention need be made, for Mrs Francis Hodgson Burnett's book is well-known. Of tho manusr in which all the members of the Company acquitted themselves in the representation we can speak only in terms of warm praise. First must come littlo Ruby Kennody, "Fauntleroy." This little girl is tho same age as tho original Fauntleroy, seven years, and very few actors of long experience could siibtain a leading character of this kind with the grace and freedom of this child. Iu the first and second acts tho burden of carrying on the interest of the piece, and also of tho conversation, falls on the littlo actress, but all this was so done at to leave the impressiou that the child was not acting—that she was simply natural. During tho second act a floral I ken of appreciation was paid to Ruby The audience appeared to be so affected that they woro compelled to withhold boisterous applause, but the expressions of gratification wero frequent, and unmistakably genuine, and at the fall of tho curtain, the cheers of the Dorincourt 'enants were taken uo and continued by the audience.
