...however, and only in several happy scenes where the old Lord figures are you relieved from monotonous and nerve-racking demonstrations of sorrow. The straight story in "Little Lord Fauntleroy," as a matter of fact, is strongly reminiscent of the burlesque melodrama in "The Music Goes Round." As Lionel Stander that prince of hard-boiled funny guys remarks about the latter. "If don't miss an emotion...
...milkwagon horse. The story that follows is what hundreds of similar farces have taught cinemaddicts to expect, but the gags are new and Director Leo McCarey keeps them sputtering across the screen at firecracker speed.

Rejoicing was general, for Chang Tsung-chang is brutal, a thief, a sadist who loves to lash his prisoners, an old-woman-beater and a young-woman-despoiler, a murderer, treacherous, outrageous, godless (TIME, March 7, 1927). But, as Columnist Brisbane remarked, Chang Tsung-chang has "verve"; and 20 wives and concubines have not rendered him "anemic." As such...
