Little Lord Fauntleroy (1914 film)

Little Lord Fauntleroy is a 1914 British silent drama film directed by Floyd Martin Thornton and starring H. Agar Lyons, Gerald Royston in the title role, and Jane Wells.

Originally, Joan Morgan had been considered for the part of Cedric Erroll as Lord Fauntleroy, before 13-year old Gerald Royston was given the role.

Born in 1901 and the younger brother of Roy Royston, the British child actor appeared in silent films from 1913 to 1915.
