TOS Crewmembers in civilian clothes

[Captain Rob]

In regards to the picture from the deleted scene showing some sort of solarium. I would have loved for TOS to have had a scene in such a solarium or on a beach showing futuristic swimwear. If for no other reason to see what the fabulous and talented Mr Theiss would have come up with.

The "INT. RECREATION ROOM" set in which this deleted scene from "Élan of Troyius" takes place" ultimately resurfaces a couple of episodes later in "And the Children Shall Lead." In "...Children...," the bench on the small platform on which the woman was "sunbathing" was replaced by a table and benches-where the Starnes Expedition kids gathered and ate ice cream. So you do get to see that set.

Isn't it also the arboretum set from "Is There In Truth No Beauty?"

Not by script direction. "Arboretum" is not a term we run into until TNG for the natural-ish park-like set. The set that Kirk and Dr. Miranda Jones visit in "Is There In Truth No Beauty?" was identified in the script as "INT. HERBARIUM." For this "INT. HERBARIUM" set, a growing plant planter addition was added to the "INT. RECREATION ROOM" set used in "And the Children Shall Lead." The reused portion was actually changed a bit for "...Beauty," so I guess it's meant to be a different room altogether and not the "INT RECRERATION ROOM as seen in "...Children...." (E.g., the food synthesizer wall slots are missing--and there are no tables or the centerpiece "arbor" is gone.) Certainly it is labeled in the script as a different room.

Even so, by your description the actors walked onto the same location in the soundstage to film those scenes. Not the same set, therefore, but technically the same stage.

For what it's worth....

That circular part is telling. It always seemed to be the back of the room, no matter where it was meant to be.

This reminds me of being in the drama department when I was in high school; first we did Ten Little Indians, with a large interior of the House On The Island, main room; then we did The Music Man, with a whole slew of wild sets that were everywhere you could think of in River City, Iowa. Same stage, different set.
