 Little Lord Fauntleroy dresses
As a result, Fauntleroy suits appeared as one-piece dresses and interchangeable suits with blouses and jackets that could be worn with skirts or kilts rather than the knee-length pants that most boys saw as the only redeeming feature of the otherwise rather unpopular garb--at least with the wearer as mothers adored them.
Fauntleroy kilts: The kilts worn with Fauntleroy jackets, however, could be quite bright plaids as they contrasted with the fl or dark colored velvet jacket.
Fauntleroy kilt had a skirt with a more distinctive Scottish plaid kilt, but was worn with a Fauntleroy jacket and lace collar.

 Little Lord Fauntleroy - CHAPTER VI
CHAPTER VI hen Lord Fauntleroy wakened in the morning,--he had not wakened at all when he had been carried to bed the night before,--the first sounds he was conscious of were the crackling of a wood fire and the murmur of voices.
Fauntleroy saw again the lovely places where the ferns grew high and the bluebells swayed in the breeze; he saw the deer, standing or lying in the deep grass, turn their large, startled eyes as the carriage passed, and caught glimpses of the brown rabbits as they scurried away.
Fauntleroy thought the Earl's foot must be hurting him, his brows knitted themselves together so, as he looked out at the park; and thinking this, the considerate little fellow tried not to disturb him, and enjoyed the trees and the ferns and the deer in silence.

For a moment she did not understand, and then she realized that it was because she was little Lord Fauntleroy's mother that they did so, and she flushed rather shyly and smiled and bowed too, and said, "Thank you," in a gentle voice to the old woman who had blessed her.
It was a little trying, therefore, to his lordship's nerves to be told, while he looked on, his eyes gleaming from under his shaggy eyebrows, that he felt an interest in scarlet fever.
And Fauntleroy jumped in, and the carriage rolled away down the green lane, and even when it turned the corner into the high road, the Earl was still grimly smiling.

But his mother managed the little fellow so sweetly and lovingly, and made him feel that she would be so near him, that, after a while, he ceased to be oppressed by the fear of any real parting.
He was such a handsome, blooming, curly-headed little fellow, that, when he sat down and nursed his knee with his chubby hands, and conversed with much gravity, he was a source of great entertainment to his hearers.
Errol was to live at the lodge and her little boy at the castle; they knew all about the great fortune he was to inherit, and about the savage old grandfather and his gout and his tempers.

 Little Lord Fauntleroy
It is because of the clothes that little Cedric is described in one passage as wearing, so well shown in Reginald Birch's illustrations for the novel: a velvet suit with a broad lace collar, and very much in the picturesque style that mothers preferred for their sons last century.
That the little fellows have worn velvet and lace, and being kindly endowed by Nature, have so adorned it as to fill a weak parent with unbridled vanity, is true…[but] my taste for the picturesque has not led me to transform two strong, manly, robust boys into affected, abnormally self-conscious, little mountebanks.
Little Lord Fauntleroy suits were amongst the most disliked of Victorian and Edwardian clothes from the point of view of the wearers, although boys also hated wearing kilts with frilly blouses and long stockings, which were also popular then.

Little Lord Fauntleroy is a story about a little American boy, Cedric who suddenly finds himself the heir-apparent to a title in England.
His grandfather, the present Lord Fauntleroy, (who originally disowned the boy's now-dead father for marrying his American mother) sends for the boy to live with him.
It is a testament to Little Lord Fauntleroy's sweetening effect that his grandfather unites with his mother to fight against this alternate claim (successfully, of course...this is no book for bittersweet endings--the good always triumph, the evil always meet they're downfall, and the good and the evil are always on opposite sides).

By the time she made Little Lord Fauntleroy, Mary was already among Hollywood’s first wave of superstars and wielded more power in Tinsel Town than either Julia Roberts or Oprah Winfrey do today, a situation that was only amplified by her marriage to Douglas Fairbanks.
The sheer volume of her filmography is staggering—starring roles in nearly fifty features between 1915 and 1933, with appearances in over two hundred one- and two-reelers before that, plus production work that went on after she retired from acting in the mid-30’s.
If it’s a fairly accurate translation, then the stereotype of a ‘Little Lord Fauntleroy’ being the hateful brat gagging everyone with his silver spoon is wildly inappropriate.

She was proud of his graceful, strong little body and his pretty manners, and especially proud of the bright curly hair which waved over his forehead and fell in charming love-locks on his shoulders.
A boy had always seemed to him a most objectionable little animal, selfish and greedy and boisterous when not under strict restraint; his own two eldest sons had given their tutors constant trouble and annoyance, and of the younger one he fancied he had heard few complaints because the boy was of no particular importance.

 Boxoffice Magazine [Little Lord Fauntleroy (1921)]   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The original, 1921 silent version of "Little Lord Fauntleroy" is by no means a faithful literary adaptation for the snobs -- it's a populist manipulation of the famous Frances Hodgson Burnett tale that's meant to be, first and foremost, an bone for Mary Pickford fans.
That being said, the film is still, more than eighty years later, immensely entertaining and a nice diversion from the usual Pickford fare of the day.
The Dickensian aspects of the tale, which deals with the cruel and unpredictable ways that class and wealth often toyed with lives in Victorian English society, don't come through as forcefully as they would in the 1936 John Cromwell-directed version, but Pickford's magnetic presence is a welcome compensating factor.
