Mrs. Burnett taking advantage of the success of her book launched into
theatrical productions which proved to be enormously successful, especially in America and Britain. For a book that has been largely parodied, it has bad a remarkable theatrical life. After the turn of the century, numerous movie productions appeared. The first film version was in the 1920s, but there have been many subsequent productions. There are quite a few film and TV versions of the book. Some of the versions were tailor made for popular stars like Mary Pickford (1926), Freddy Bartholomew (19366), and Ricky Schroeder (1980). We do not know of a book that have been done in so many movie movies and TV versions. The costuming and hir styling had been variously handeled.
Following up on the success of her book in 1886, Mrs. Burnett immediately
began to produce a stage production which proved enormously successful in
London and Paris as well as elsewhere in Europe. The boys went with her to
Europe and were erolled in schools there. She was soon involved in law suits
against unauthorized productions. The costuming in these plays involved very
elaborate, frilly Fauntleroy suits and ringlet curls.
