)) \ Policeman Wicker Man herois too good to be true When you begin reading The Wicker Man by Robin Hardy and Anthony Shaffer, you may find the hero, Neil Howie, is just too good to be true. He's a Scottish policeman, a devout Episcopalian, and a great detail man who gets most of his jollies from birdwatching. He tainly doesn't get . from his eetheart, to whom he's been engaged for years. So far they've exchanged nothing more than a few chaste kisses. Hardly a hero tor our times, but when Howie travels to Summerisle, a private island where sexual morals appear to be frightfully loose, the reason for the overdrawn virtue in the first few chapters becomes clear. Howie goes to Sum- merisle to investigate a report on a missing child. The clash of his stern moralistic views, with the pagan life style on Summerisle is all a bit much for Howie. He particularly rages against the heathen worship of the gods of harvest and fecundity. Too late, Howie finds that he himself is doomed to be part of the pagan celebration. To tell more of the story would destroy the suspense, and this book is full of suspense. The climax is truly terrifying and a shocker after the bucolic wine women and song-soaked flavour of the intervening pages. It's a good, chilling story, set in a paradise whose evil undertones are scarcely believable. The Wicker Man has been made into a film Tykes trounce opposition Midland Tykes em- barrassed their op- ponents again Wednesday in a York-Simcoe Baseball Association league Flesherton. Coach Ken Proulx said his team won by "'a large amount of runs with all game in Housecalls Matthau, stroke of genious by Terry Dupuis House Cails: Although he has _ap- peared in films for 25 years now, Walter Matthau did not become a box office star until 1966. That was the year he won an Academy Award for his performance as Jack Lemmon's crooked lawyer brother-in-law ina movie called The Fortune Cookie. Since that time Matthau has remained one of the screen's most dependable actors, particularly in comedies like The Odd Couple, Pete and Tillie, and Bad News Bears. Once again Walter Matthau appears in top form in his latest comedy, a picture called House Calls. Matthau alone would make the picture hilarious, but the other good news about House Calls is that his co-star is Glenda Jackson. Glenda is no slouch herself in the comedy department, as she proved five years ago in her Academy Award- winning performance in A Touch Of Class. Casting Matthau and Jackson together was a stroke of genius. Their teaming in House Calls results in the best comedy I've seen so far this year. players getting some much needed hitting and running experience."' This is the second time Midland has _ totally outclassed another team in league play. Last week they defeated Barrie 25-0 in their season opener. Jackson Movie review Matthau portrays a widower surgeon at a Los Angeles hospital. After the grief of his wife's death subsides, he decides to become a swinger. His romantic target is a divorced career woman who bakes super-gourmet _cheese- cake. This role is played by Glenda Jackson in her best brittle style. Contributing to the overall hilarity of House Calls is a performance by Art Carney as the senile chief-of-staff at the hospital. Carney, of course, was Jackie Gleason's sidekick for years. He also holds an Academy Award for his memorable acting in Harry and Tonto. Director Howard Zieff keeps things moving briskly in House Calls. But with the combined talents of three Oscar winners like Matthau, Jackson and Carney, there was little chance that he could go wrong. Julia Several months ago I Door Prizes THE PAV DISCO ORILLIA A dance for all ages. For the best sights and sounds anywhere, Fridays at 8 LP's Free passes given each night Be There Georgian did a detailed review of a movie called Julia, which I had seen in Toronto. I would like to bring it to reader attention that this fine drama _ has finally arrived to our area. Julia tells a true-life story about the friendship between playwright Lillian Hellman (superbly played by Jane Fonda) and her best childhood friend Julia. This latter role won Vanessa Redgrave an Oscar last month for Best Supporting Actress. Julia covers a number of years, but most of it is set back in the 30's around the time of the Nazi takeover in Germany . There is another Oscar- winning performance in it by Jason Robards. This haunting and memorable drama was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and it rated highly in my 10 Best of the Year list back in December. 20th CENTURY: FOX Presents ARICHARD ROTH Pre STARTS TONIGHT Lhe story of two women whose friendship suadenly became a matter of life and death. jon FRED ZINNEMANN Fin JANE FONDA VANESSA REDGRAVE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT CANADIAN ODEON Theatres King St., Midland Nitely 7&9 526-5791 Based on a true story.

Book review which has been called the best horror film to come out of England in 30 years. Anthony Shaffer, co-writer with Robin Hardy is no stranger to this genre. He's been responsible for Frenzy and Sleuth. The Investigation by Dorothy Uhnak is: an equally gripping book set in the more realistic world of New York City. The story begins when Kitty Keeler--a ravishingly beautiful and very unconventional mother, reports that her two children are missing. Her stolid (and estranged) husband is totally distraught by the disappearance, and when the bodies of the two little vestigation takes on more serious overtones Sergeant Joe Peters is in charge of the in- vestigation, and he tells the story in fast-moving first person. Peters falls in love with Kitty Keeler and is determined to prove her innocence. The trail leads through political machinations, mafia involvements and inter departmental rivalries in the police department. The Investigation is written with realistic dialogue and a good feeling of big city ceracity throughout.
