Living in a university town, they rent a room to Terry Moore, a young student, and Shirley bores Burt with accounts of interminable dreams about "Little Sheba," a lost puppy, which symbolizes the happier days of her youth. In Terry, Lancaster sees someone who must not make the mistakes he did while young; it becomes a fetish that she shall remain innocent and decent. Suspecting, wrongly, that Terry has allowed arrogant Richard Jaeckel to spend the night in her room, Burt hits the bottle again and, in a drunken rage, attacks Shirley. Hospitalized, Burt returns to a new and better home as Shirley, realizing he still loves her, gives up her slovenly ways. CATCHLINES: A Dramatic Masterpiece on the Stage . . .
