Eliot's two best plays: the first in a prancing recitation by the original New York cast (Alec Guinness, Cathleen Nesbitt, Robert Flemyng, Eileen Peel); the second read with less than majesty but more than dignity by Robert Donat and the Old Vic company...

Friends estimate that Eliot makes about ?4,000 ($11,200) a year, including some ?2,500 of royalties from his books and plays. His income from The Cocktail Party in Manhattan is about...
