Choreographer Ross based his work on an early (1902) Thomas Mann story, a sort of literary foothill to his later Magic Mountain. The ballet began in a stark hospital room done in astringent blues and whites. The tuberculous heroine (Ballerina Nora Kaye) beat feebly on the single closed door, panted, felt her heart, slithered onto a chair and sank to the floor in a crawling frenzy. She was joined there by the hero (Erik Bruhn). Together they clutched, held, tangled and disentangled in a series of movements that ranged from the supine to the ridiculous...
...quit intercontinental fun and games; his father, the Aga Khan, sternly opposed another movie-actress marriage after Aly's divorce from Rita Hayworth. With her need for stability unmet. Gene's anxiety grew worse. In New York she walked out on a TV commitment to play Nora in Ibsen's A Doll's House, the part of a woman squashed by the strictures of society and an overbearing husband. The anxiety had reached the point of making her really sick, soon led to a critical emotional breakdown...

Ballet Theatre's Erik Bruhn phoned fellow Danes in Copenhagen, who rushed to pack Sylphides and Graduation Ball trappings (the vacationing director had to be run to ground for an O.K.). French...
...Thin Man (Fri. 9:30 p.m., E.D.T., NBC). Though his own private eye is often trained on blondes, Nick Charles (Peter Lawford) has a pert wife named Nora (Phyllis Kirk) to whom he is professedly faithful, and a wire-haired terrier named Asta who is faithful to him. Genteel and wryly suave, Nick seldom tangles physically with the blackmailers, assassins and sundry evildoers whom he ferrets out with one hand while reaching for a martini with the other. He rarely finishes a drink during the half-hour program, giving the impression that he is a frustrated alcoholic...
