Given Free Rein Speaking at one time of the character which he inspired, Mr.

Burnett declared emphatically that while he might have been the prototype of Fauntleroy, his mother had given free rein to her imagination in her portrayal of him. "I got myself just as damned dirty as the other boys," he said. "I could write a book about what Fauntleroy has been to me. I try to get away from him, but I can't. You wouldn't call it a demon, but a kind of an alter ego." In his efforts to get away from literary jockey, Mr.

Burnett pursued an active career. Born in Paris, April 5, 1876, he spent his childhood in Europe and Washington. At Harvard he succeeded in living down part of his new and unwelcome reputation by making a name for himself on the track team. He also composed musical plays. Became Cub Reporter On his graduation he went to Denver and became a cub reporter on the Denver Republican.

Later he went to Washington, where he conducted a semi-humorous column on the Washington Times, entitled "Live Topics About Town." From there took a job with S. S. McClure, traveling over the country reporting on the state of the nation. He later entered the editorial department of McClure's Magazine. He afterward became editor of the Children's Magazine and into his work put his knowledge of children's literary wants.

Although at times he railed at Fauntleroy, he considered it a great work. He became interested in Japanese art and public affairs in 1914 when he went to Japan on his honeymoon. Wrote Life of Mother 1924 he wrote his mother's life story under the title of "The Romantic Lady." He assisted in the preparation of the script of "Little Lord Fauntleroy" for the screen and wrote many lyrics, dance and ligious music, and also a suite for orchestra. In 1933 he was a dry candidate for membership in the State convention on repeal of the 18th Amendment. He said he thought his mother would have been a prohibitionist.

He was a member of Players, the Dutch Treat Club, the Advertising Club, the Manhasset Yacht Club, the Beethoven Association, the Manhasset Board Trade and the Japan Society. E. L.
