The Wingham Advance-Times, 1972-05-25, Page 12or The Wingham yore Fines, Thursday, May 25* 1972 Howick Lions 'Tis Show Biz Television Emmy awards were presented last Sunday evening in a long, drawn-out production car- tied live by CBS in the U.S. and CBC here in our country. But it looked more like a movie function than a television deal. More and more movie stars are moving from the movie screen to.tlie little bitty television screen. Not only can they find better vehicles for their talent amid television scripts but there are many more to choose from. And with rising costs and poorer movies, more people are staying home by the toob than are going to film, theatres; TV stars are more widely known throughout the world now than _ movie stars for TV series are dubbed in several languages. Sunday evening's was a big production with the stars out in full force, beautiful people like Ginger Rogers, Susan Hayward, Connie Stevens, Mitzi Gaynor, Steve Lawrence and Eydie (porme, newcomers like Redd Fox, oldtimers like Gale Storm and Bob Cummings . ,who look like they found Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth and are hog- ging it for themselves! And if I missed gorgeous Barbara Rush on Oscar night, there she was in full bloom' on Emmy night steal- ing the show; like they say in the bizness, 'that dame's got class'! Comedy awards were all taken by "All in the Family" (best series, directing; writing and act- ing by stars Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton ). Supporting awards, though, went to Mary Tyler Moore's.co-stars, the actor who plays her boss Lou Grant and the actress who is her best friend Rhoda (the latter was tied with Sally Struthers from AITF) . , It was .a disappointing evening for Mary Tyle- Moore; • she lost to Stapleton though her two co-stars won and her other main co=star and friend 'Cloris Leachman earlier won an Oscar. I don't care what you say; it's still Mary that. makes the show! Music -variety awards were won by Carol Burnett's series and Sonny and Cher's Hour; with Dick Cavett taking the award for best talk show. In. the. dramatic series class,. "Elizabeth ' R wakTnamed best series and its star6Gle,nda Jack- son was best series actress; di- recting awards went to "The Bold Ones", writing to NBC's Mystery Iviovie; and Peter Falk who plays a detective on a U.S. series called "Columbo", edged out `Mannix', `Marcus Welby', `Iro'iside' and `Henry VIII' to take best series dramatic actor award. Awards are always given to the best single programs of the year, whether„ segments from a series or single specials. The best single musical was Jack •Lemmof's special on Gershwin; it also won for direction and choreography. Writing of a special went to "The Trial of Mary Lincoln". The best performances by actresses . and actor in a single show, went to Glenda Jackson and Keith Mi- chell in single episodes of "Eliza- beth R" and "Henry VIII";. well deserved though it would have been nice to see Patricia Neil recognized for her performance in the Christmas special "The Homecoming". The best single show of the year was "Brian's Song", a full-length feature movie shown on the U.S. series "Movie of the Week". Earlier in New York, awards were given to "Sesame Street" for, best children's program- ming; Jacques Cousteau for his undersea documentaries; ' "The Doctors" (best daytime serial) ; Junior Auxiliary BELGRAVE — Karen Scott led the games -Saturday morning for the Junior Auxiliary meeting in the Orange Hall. President April McBurney led in the opening exercises. Roll call was in charge of Sheila Anderson. Minutes of the last meeting were read by Connie Meurs and the treasurer's report given by Dianne Scott. Leaders for the next meeting are games, Alison Roberts; sing- song, Bonnie Walker; to help with the -worship service, Cindy Campbell; clean-up girl, . April McBurney. Patsy Scott helped with . the worship service:. Lynne Haines and Patsy Scott collected the offering and April McBurney re- cited the offertory prayer: The girls were reminded that there was a meeting on Thurs- day, May 25. There will be no Sat- urday. ' meeting. The seniors worked on , Bible work and the juniors on promise and stripe work. Sheila Anderson led in the sing- song. Living within one's means is all very well, but I'd hardly call it living. By Vonni Lee and "Elizabeth R" for costume' design. As the Oscars once had, the Emmy telecast had a problem: too many people who get carried away with acceptance speeches and run the show much too long; as one winner who had to wait un- til close to the end pointed out, it sure can create problems and I guess more for those waiting there than for the viewer at home! Basically, though, had they been able to remedy that and kick Johnny Carson and some of his jokes into outer space, it would have been a good show. The brilliant piece of film editing on the medical show seg- ment, helped break the monot- ony; though Frank Gorshin's routine wasn't up to the calibre of many I've seen him do. One of the highlights, I suppose, would have to be Paul Lynde and the Chimp presenting awards for best talk show; who but Lynde would ac- cept a spot like that and could play the part so well. Behind all the fun and laughter that was apparent, there was one dark cloud over the proceedings, remembering that earlier in the day one of TV's greatest stars, Dan Blocker of "Bonanza", had died suddenly in Hollywood. bingo winners Howick Lion's Bingo Winners Friday evening, May 19th in Wroxeter Community Hall were: Regular Games: Ethel Holmes, Wingham; Lorne Fis- cher, Listowel; Mrs. Newman, Wingham; Mrs. Aitcheson, Wing - ham and Mrs. William Upper, Listowel ; Doreen Denstedt, Dorking and Mrs. Linden Sch- midt, Mildmay; Deanna Boyd, Gorrie; Mrs. Bates, Harriston; Kathleen Ellacott, Listowel; Mrs. McInnes, Fordwich, Mrs. Aitcheson, Wingham and Mrs. Mel Beattie, Listowel; Frank Hamilton, Lucknow and Bea Her- gott, Mildmay; Isobel Tiffin, Lucknow and Mrs. C.
