Carrying on the tradition of his forebears is Theodores Efstathios Kalemkierides, better known as T.E. Kalem, TIME'S drama critic for the past decade. This week we publish more of Kalem's distinctive prose than usual. He reviews two Broadway openings, including Harold Pinter's Old Times in the Theater section, and assays Peter Brook's film version of King Lear in Cinema. All three articles underscore Kalem's reputation as one of the most demanding practitioners of his craft...
...Harold Pinter has not fallen on his face in Old Times, but he has mistaken a dead end for a new road. Even more surprisingly, he has written a play that is a bit of a bore, though the bulk of the reviews have been favorable.* It is a three-character play.

His famous pauses are elusive in meaning and menacing in their silence, which perhaps befits an age of uncertainty. In Old Times, he returns to his favorite human geometry, the triangle (in this case, two women and a man), and examines the tricks that life plays on memory and memory plays on itself. The trio will be acted by Robert Shaw, Mary Ure and Rosemary Harris. From the front...
