Chief among them is Sir Cedric Hardwicke, never before seen on a U. S. stage. An exponent of the feather-touch, as the timid, pale grey little Parisian father, his gentle intonations and delicate gestures seem to indicate that he is afraid that grosser activity might jar him loose from the stage and send him floating up in the flies.
