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.

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.

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.
