Author Perfect Model For Leads in Own Production Richard Brinsley Sheridan him self might have been the model for one of the youthful leads in his eighteenth-century comedy, “School for Scandal,” forthcoming production of the University thea ter. Sheridan moved in an exclusive circle of young writers and came into contact with many famous socialites of the day, which he of ten used as subjects of his plays, satirizing their speech, affecta tions, and general way of life. The result, as in “School for Scandal,” was brilliant comedy. The role of Lady Teazle, in the play has long been a favorite with leading comediennes, from the time of the noted Mrs. Abington who played it in the Drury Lane theater in 1777, to the recent por trayal by Ethel Barrymore. The same may be said of the other roles in the play. Supporting parts as well as leads are considered great favorites by actors. “Sheridan’s long phrases and complex words are difficult for modem young actors to present at first,” according to Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, director of the Univer sity theater production. “Apparently the author and his 6290 is the number to remember!

Characters were given such revealing names as Eneerwell, Surface, Backbite, Snake and Crabtree. The woman who advocates equal rights for her sex is a generous soul, willing to settle for half.
