EDMONTON JOURNAL, Friday, April 15. 1977 37 July 15 show is free tir by tars' talents kept Supertramp plans second appearance in neutral by script Charley Prevost said Thursday. Because of Hodgson's illness the band also had to cancel Tuesday's Calgary concert That show has been re-scheduled for July 14. Promoter Dave Horodez-ky said that if ticket-holders they explained the difficulty they were working under and promised to return and re-stage the show for free for the 12,000 who paid up to $7.50 to see them. "All the people with their ticket stubs will get in free," Supertramp's tour manager lose their stubs "there's not much we can do for them.

"I think what we're going to do is print a new set of tickets up and have the people come in (to the ticket outlets) and exchange the stubs for new tickets." He said there would likely be a deadline set for the handing in of stubs for new tickets, after which any unclaimed tickets would go on sale. He did not know when that deadline would be or when the new tickets would be available. By JOE SORNBERGER Supertramp, the rock group that struggled through a listless Coliseum concert Monday when one of their singers was sick, will return to Edmonton July 15 to re-perform their show. The group was unable to perform their normal concert because singer-guitarist Roger Hodgson was too sick to sing. During the concert H.

As Donald Sutherland puts it: "The only time this plan makes sense to me is when I'm drunk." The movie has some fine moments. The carefully-plotted operation is jeopardized when a soldier saves a little village girl who topples into the millstream and is carried towards the churning wheel. He's killed during the rescue attempt. As his body is suspended from the turning wheel, his tunic is pulled aside exposing his German uniform. There is a tender love scene between Sutherland and Jenny Agutter, the high-spirited village lass he becomes involved with against his better judgment With a gentle, protectiveness he does up a button on her blouse that's come undone.

Unfortunately, scenes like these are merely ripples in an otherwise slick production. Caine and Sutherland are two actors whose magnetism and presence is so strong onscreen, you can't take your eyes off them. Their powerful talents are kept idling, however. They are never given the chance to shift into gear and show what they can do. They insinuate as much depth into their characters as they are able but the script doesn't allow them full development.

Agutter, a young British actress, promises a fine talent but she doesn't get the opportunity to blossom in this one. One tends to be lenient towards a passable product created by mediocre talents and to deal more harshly with middling movies produced by first-rate ones. Perhaps it's not fair but the expectations are just so much higher. To say this movie is not bad means it's also not good enough. THE EA CLE HAS LANDED Odeon 2 By HELEN MELNYK Some subjects have been threaded through so many movie reels, they've been worn out The Second World War is one of those subjects that has been done so many times already, it's difficult to come up with anything new.

Columbia Pictures has taken another run at it, however, and put together a credible picture. It's November, 1943, the Nazis are in trouble and somebody comes up with the idea of kidnapping Winston Churchill. Michael Caine plays an English-educated Nazi colonel whose paratrooper squad puts down on the English coast where Britain's wartime prime minister is to spend a country weekend. Donald Sutherland is a flamboyant romantic Irish nationalist who helps out the Germans to strike his own blow against the English. Robert Duvall is the high-ranking Nazi who masterminds the whole operation.

Jean Marsh (Rose of television's Upstairs, Downstairs) is the German collaborator who operates as a cover in the village where the kidnapping is to take place. The Eagle Has Landed is not of the same calibre as The Day of the Jackal which convincingly portrayed the attempted assassination of Charles de Gaulle, a former president of France. But it's not bad for a thriller in the fictional history genre. The makers of this film were comfortable enough with what they were doing not to take themselves too seriously. They allow PARIS (CP) Cacharel gave separates top priority in the fall '77 collection recently shown here.

The hip-banded blouson is the sweater shape to watch. It looks big but it's not bulky. Jac-quards make their mark in unusual patterns from Norwegian snowfiake patterns to abstract geometries. I H. G.

It was no surprise that the CBC, with about 100 nominees in the program's 16 award categories, virtually walked away with the show, taking 13 trophies for top achievement in the broadcasting industry.

This year's presentation of the awards by the Association of Canadian Television and Radio Artists was interspersed with several live performances, notably a satiric newscast by comedian Dave Broadfoot, a Yea-Canada! musical number by Tom Kneebone and Dinah Christie, and songs by Bob Ruz-icka, Gloria Kaye and Claude Leveille. The cast of the Royal Canadian Air Farce Broad-foot, Don Ferguson, John Morgan, Luba Goy and Roger Abbott delighted the audience with their antics when they stepped up to receive the award for the best radio variety performance. The two-hour awards show, televised from the Hotel Toronto ballroom, was co-hostcd by Pierre Berton, Barbara Frum and Gordon Pinsent.
