The subtitle of Sir Cedric's
autobiography, as told to James
Brough by the way. is "the ir-
reverent memories of etc." The
irreverence is inclusive, Sir
Cedric properly the principal
butt of it. He admits to vio-
lation of all of the Ten Com
mandments, killing Germans to
account for the fifth one. He
has no illusions about his sta
bility or charm as husband
or father but he has no criti-
cism of those more respectful
of conventional, personal anG
social codes.
Names race through the gos-
sipy flow of his book, one of
the most admired that of Ber-
nard Shaw, one of the most
amusingly knitted into the text
that of King George v. 1t was
that monarch who knighted
Actor Hardwick as Sir Samuel
Pickwick, having misunder-
stood the name.
Between the anecdotage, al
ways lively, and the recipes
for artful living, Sir Cedric
inserts considerable observa-
ton on the art of acting. It is
an art that served him prosper
ously on the stage, and to
achieve a piquant and enviable
poiSe in his non-working hours.
AS how-to-do-it books go, his
Is a most readable work on how
to live in poised politeness in
a society that is neither fla
grantly poised nor polite.

brought up the subject.
Now, thanks to Sir Cedric,
he has a target.
He will try. this recently
lackadaisical patriot, to become
urbanely poised.
Urbane is a rewarding thing
to be. In Sir Cedric's case, it
has provided him with a
creamy life, won him a knight
hood as a credit to a Com
monwealth, and. preserved him
from both boredom and stuff
ness.
There may be higher values
than these, the rewards OF
suavity. Nevertheless. they
have the virtue of suggesting
not merely personal comfort
but also an oblique form of
social usefulness. AS to the
latter, there is evidence that
one of the serious lacks of this
society is urbanity, polished,
smiling diSengagement from
the web, not of great issues,
but of minor irritationS that
serve the interests only Of
psychiatrists and gastrointerol-
ogiStS.
Aplomb, not antacids, is the
remedy for ulcers; serenity
not sedatives. the preventive
medicine for mental turmoil.
At least, these are conclusions
that easily may be drawn from
"a Victorian In Orbit"
Sir Cedric, So, born into a
physicians family in a small
town near industrial Birming-
ham, has spent so Of his years
with time out for World WaI
las an actor. The aloofness
aboveneSS, or detachment that
have marked his career also
rather dictated its choice.
He began at any rate with
no great 'love for the theater, ~
but chose it simply because its
unreality seemed much more
attractive than the dreary re-
alitieS of small town life as
the industrial revolution picked
up momentum and spread
smoke, SCOT, and sickness over
his native neighborhood.
This was a place, and a way
Of life to get away from. He
did, with his fathers disap.
proval. He departed in the
spirit Of a boy bound for ar
atmosphere of dark-paneled
high-ceilinged rooms, furnished
with deep leather chairs, and
equipped with some thoughtful
reading matter. To this HI
would come back after contrib.
uting his bit to the make-be.
ieve that might, or might not
make more prosaic lives-thoSe
Of coal miners or coal mag.
nates-a bit more bearable.
Reading the details Of the
life he made for himself, Sil
Cedric creates the self-portrait
Of an actor bent upon achiev.
ing a poiSe, not the mere pose
for which so many of his fell
lows settle. It is an impression
that stands up not merely ir
"a Victorian in Orbit" but ir
a number of fugitive meetings
