UNIVERSITY PLAYERS ARE SUCCESSFUL IN FIRST PRESENTATION "Dolly Reforming Herself" Given at Englert Theatre Last Night, Pleases Audience PLAY IS ENGLISH COMEDY Two Young Married Couples in Complicated Plot-Heberling and Mullaney Play Leads The University Players were highly successful in their first appearance of the season, at the English theatre last night, in "Dolly Reforming Herself," an English comedy originally produced at the Haymarket theater, dealing with the vicissitudes of fortune as they affect two young married couples. Marjery Heberling, well known in University dramatic circles, was delightful in the leading role as Dolly, with Harry Telfer, her husband, played by Mark Mullaney. Jean Birdsall ably portrayed the part of Renie, friend of Dolly, and wife of Professor Sturgess. Albert Wilcox took the part of Professor Sturgess. Sophia Cleveland appeared as Peters, ladies' maid. Reverend Pilcher was played by Charles Brown, Captain Wentworth by Harold Harney, Mat Barron by Leon Brigham, and Criddle by Harold Stoner. The scene of the four acts is laid in the home of the Harry Telfers near London at the present time, where Mat Barron, Dolly's father is visiting for the holidays. Complications begin when a sermon by Reverend Pilcher inspires the Telfer household to make a new year's resolution, to reform for one year, Dolly to reduce her bills and Renie to give up flirting, especially with the fascinating Captain Wentworth. Many difficult and farcical situations develop during the following year. Professor Sturgess' book, finished at the end of the play, depicts the instability of women, with Dolly the example. Throughout the play, Mat Barron, father of Dolly, watches developments from the background, amused at the struggle of the youthful reformers.
