"We had many very talented people in the show" Moore remarked, including Robert H. Hepburn '35, Katherine Hepburn's brother, and Theodore Roosevelt III '36, the former President's grandson. Both men took the stage to sing with their fellow cast members last night.

But Cooke himself did not actually perform in the musical numbers, instead, he confined himself to armchair wit.

Commenting on "I'm Outside and Looking in," Cooke explained that it was "a song sung by an outlander and an outlander in today's terms can be described as a nerd who didn't stand a chance of getting into the Pudding or the Vincent Club," the Pudding's Radcliffe contemporary then.

"I suppose today he could belong to both clubs and nobody would notice," he concluded to ripples of laughter and gentle hissing from the audience.

Cooke said this was the first time he had directed since 1934 when he was a two year Commonwealth Fellow at Harvard.

Cooke will also continue to record his Masterpiece Theater segment at WGBH TV in Boston, said David O. Ives '41 Vice chairman of the station who attended last night's shows.
