HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1975-03-27, Page 18it a One of, their weaker ,mak Wayne and Shuster pr eTt some topical humor ,y presented their special laSt ...'Friday evening on the CBC network. Always making politi- *US and the CBC the butt of their jokes, they came up with more of the same in this hour. But their main sketch, about a cow- ardly son of a British officer, lacked sparkle and was not up to their usual standard. Though I have always been aware that the two boys boast an excellent supporting cast in all their shows, it was never quite as evident as in this show, perhaps because many good roles fell to them. They slip easily from one role to another and prove their versatility in each. Professional might be the word to best describe their supporting cast, as they provide many entertaining moments during the Wayne and Shuster comedy specials. 0-0-0 Caught a glimpse of the Larry Solway late-night show in Chan- nel Mast week and wouldn't you know, my very favorite, Gordon Sinclair, would be his guest! For no other reason but that I was too lazy to change channels, I left it on to hear the dear boy talk about his money and his greatest love, himself. He looked like he had just come from a rummage sale and was wearing what he had bought. And Solway is not exactly my. -idea of a top-flight inter- viewer. Halfway through the interview, however, t found myself almost feeling a bit of fondness for this pain -in -the -neck friend of mine, After all these years of bragging about the fact that he was an 'atheist' and backing into a cor- ner so many guests that obvious- ly were no match for his impu- dence and arrogance, he seems to be mellowing in his old age. He never had me fooled; he's always believed strongly in the Gospel of Gordon and pinned '-a god -like image on himself. But, talking to Solway, he started rambling about being out on his boats, sailing off Northern Ontario and charting his courses. As he enjoyed the solitude of the warm quiet summer evenings and ; watched the stars , as . they 'Tis SNOW BIZ blVoonl Lee guided him on his course, he felt a Presence, was aware that the stars were not in the sky `by chance' but Divine Hands were behind this entire creation. 1 found it very hard to believe that there he was, talking like 11 had never heard him talk before. Was he finally admitting there was Someone greater than Sin- clair? All joking aside, Gordon Sin- clair has let personal tragedy make him bitter and cynical which is no laughing matter but a reason to feel sorry for him. He will learn eventually, that no man is an island. A very clever man who has seen fame and tasted success, he has never seemed to be a happy man. I somehow had the feeling last week, that the proud exterior was covering a very thoughtful roan who, in the autumn of his years, was trying to sum up the meaning for his life. 0-0-0 For Aristotle Onassis, just as Gordon Sinclair; much meaning left his life when personal tragedy struck and claimed his child, in Onassis' case, a son who would have- claimed the entire Onassis fortune and 'shipping business. When his young son died in a plane crash two years ago, part of Onassis died too. He flew the best surgeons to Europe to save his life but it was useless. As Onassis' own health deterior- ated, he sought the best doctors, again to no avail, probably be- cause he had little left to fight for. Last week, Aristotle Onassis died in Paris at the age of d9, ending two years of tragedy, that began with the death of his son, many personal problems suf- fered by his daughter and the mysterious death last year of his first wife, Tina. He was buried on his beloved island, Scorpios, the bulk of his estate and his business going to his daughter and only living heir. His widow, Jacque- line Bouvier Kennedy, was in New York when he died and will no doubt return there to live. His • life. was spent building a fortune, which after his death was esti- mated in the hundreds of millions, but he died an' empty shell of a man, with two people his only close mourners.
