-Dorothy Vera Peters turned to the stage soon after she left school and was given her first parts by [[Frank Cellier]], who continued to take an interest in her career.  He came out to South Africa in November 1915 as part of the [[Ethel Irving]] Company, but before that a Dorothy Peters had already taken part in recitals and had played Puck in ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream]]'' (1914) as staged by [[Charles Sparrow]].  In 1916 she acted in ''[[A Story of the Rand]]'', directed by [[Lorimer Johnston]], which was the first fictional short produced by [[African Film Productions]].  When Cellier joined the [[Leonard Rayne]] Company, Peters moved with him and acted in a series of productions at the [[Standard Theatre]], starring the likes of [[Freda Godfrey]], [[Florence Glossop-Harris]] (Mrs. Frank Cellier) and Cellier himself.  These plays included ''[[The Blindness of Virtue]]'', ''[[The Double Event]]'', ''[[The Morals of Marcus]]'', ''[[The Professor’s Love Story]]'', ''[[Disraeli]]'', ''[[The Christian]]'' (with [[M.A. Wetherell]]), ''[[The Second in Command]]'' and ''[[The Prodigal Son]]'', all in 1918.  Cellier returned to Great Britain in August 1919 and it is probable that she also left South Africa at that time.  An engagement to Mr. George Dive of Robinson Deep, announced in in [[S.A. Pictorial]] of 15 March 1919, doesn’t seem to have led anywhere.
