Something Besides Baseball. By the time he got home that fall, Robin had begun to suspect that there might be something else besides playing ball. He asked his sister Nora if she knew any girls he might ask for a date. Nora fixed him up with a young grade-school teacher fresh from the University of Wisconsin, a pretty brunette named Mary Ann Kalnes. Mary had never seen a big-league game; Robin could talk only about baseball. So the happy couple went to the movies, where conversation is sometimes helpful but not compulsory. "We evidently got along," says Robin...
...that point Cocteau more or less returned to the original. Proserpine--rechristened Death and played by Nora Shattuck with an air of mystery and grandeur--sends Eurydice to hell, where Orpheus follows her to bring her back.

...nights before, Ballerina Nora Kaye starred in another episode which also seemed funny-when it was all over. As Blanche du Bois in the grim ballet version of A Streetcar Named Desire, she had come within a few bars of the moment when Stanley Kowalski is supposed to rape her. The scene should have ended with Blanche making a spinning jump at Stanley (Igor Youskevitch) and being flung helplessly over his shoulder as the lights go out. Ballerina Kaye (110 Ibs.) jumped, all right, but as she did her right arm landed in her partner's left...
