Pape 5. Thursdav. June 29, 1972, WHITBY FREE PRESS ente taijmeit guide Sommer, Involvemen t and commitment are words thrown in today's conversation with little understanding or awareness of their meaning. One person who does no t use these words lightly but says them w i t h f e el1in g is Michael York, currently starr ing w i th Elke Sommer in the Warner Bros. production, "Zep- p e 1- i n, " opening today at t h e Brock Theatre. At the age of 28, Michael York has reached a peak in a tough, demanding profession. His success, however, h a s n o t made him feel that he is en- t i t I e d to preferential treatment, nor does he feel that his success entities him to pontificate on the wrongs of life and society. "I really don't see why, " he says, "just because I have a certain success my voice shoul d be heard above others. After all, we are supposed to be living in a democracy w h e r e everyone has the r i gh t to speak, and to be heard, equally.*I know that this is a somewhat ideological thought, but we have to keep t h i s idea in mind if we are to survive and enjoy any decent way of life. " Michel York Star Elke Sommer comforts a wounded Michael York. Just one of the many scenes from "Zeppelin". Micheal brings this clear-cut honesty to bear on his private life. His appeal for many women must lie in his trans- p a r e n t vulnerability. Shy and intro- Elke TAXI! Terry David Mul ligan and Bill Reiter, the two Vancouver comedians of last year'sPiffle & Co. fame, are the stars of a new c o m e d y series, Hey Taxi!, whichmakes its debut on the·television network Thursday, July 6 at 7:30 p. m. color. Terry plays a university student wh acquires a taxi-driver's license in a cu t- throat Scrabble game, and [B11 Reiter pops up a l1 over the place in a whole string of roles, from a Jap- anese bartender to an Italian chef in a pizza parlour. A f ter a face-off wi th a mobster in the Scrabble game, Terry goes in search of a cab to go with the license -- a hil- ar i ous spree through some of Van- couver's more exotic wrecking yards and park ing lots, meeting a long the w a y a ssor'ted characters ( all played by 8 i ii Reiter). Terry's search ends when he finds a red, white and blue mini-car with a maple-leaf flag painted on the roof. The perfec t (!) vehicle for dodging about in \/ancouver's traf- f i c , it takes him into comic situations al 1 a r o u n d the town. One of the con- tinuing characters Bill Reiter plays is Henri I e Champigon, a French-Cana- dian m e c h a n i c who can fix anything. Bruce Cockburn (top left) Anne Murray (bottom I eft) and L ighthouse were among the c r e am o f Canada's Middle of the Road, folk and rock artists whose con- cert performances were taped recently by CBC Radio. Two programs attempt- ingto characterize the Canadian musi- cal identity resulted. The first, titled M a p I e M usi c - Ahead of the Record, will be aired Saturday, July 1 at 1:03 p. m. ; the second will be heard on The Entertainers, Friday Jul1 y 7 at 8:03, p. m. T h e shows w e r e also taped for telecast sometime in the fall. - At Whitby's Brock Theatre Un 'Zeppelin' s p e c t i v e, he presents an air of what couId be called old-fashioned virtue. I t is a view which is very close to the truth. "If you love a woman, " he explains , "y ou must surely make some commit- m e n t to her. A part of your Iife must become totally hers. The logical out- come of this commitment must be mar- riage. I "Zeppelin"is a G.M.F.
