TV radio WEEK WUllMlllH CBC cameras follow Canadian Open golf going to fill the bill nicely although a full program of sound will be more meaningful next week. CFQC, in Saskatoon, has been running a varied fare of programs in the II. 40 slot each night and among them this week was.

the Carol Taylor show on Tuesday. From the discussion with writer Aaron Einfrank, it was obvious the film was taped either last August or September in Toronto. Surely the television viewers deserve a better fate and more timeliness if they are to be subjected to Canadian talk shows. And just as Alphabet Soup was ready to hit the assembly line, 'Trudy came down with appendicitis. The k's disappointments: Both networks were plagued by sound troubles off the microwave units Tuesday, and although these problems are inevitable, it was discouraging to viewers of a Saskatchewan talent being unveiled on CBKST.

Jim Roberts, of Re-gina. and a Gala Night award winner in 1067, is host and vocalist on The Good Times. And it looks like Roberts is By l) POWERS Canada's golf enthusissU will ba among tlW first to give blessings that labor difficulties between the CBC and the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technician! have been resolved.

The Curtis Cup golf series, between United States and the United Kingdom, will be one of Saturday's features. James Murray, executive producer of The Nature of Things, has been named to the same post for The National Dream, a TV series of eight hour-long documentaries based on Pierre Berton's two books on the building of the CPR.

"I think that offstage bubble-head image that they gave me interviewers and people like that came because that was what they really wanted me to be," she said. "It happened a lot, and in the context of the general zaniness of the show, it never really bothered me. I knew the reason for it, or thought I did." Goldie's third film was in which she co-starred with Warren Beatty. She says she finds motion picture work challenging and satisfying.

"The joys come because it's a totally different experience from television: all the values are different," she said. "In television I had the most fun working in my own special. In a series, you lose the excitement when you are doing it every week. "But film work demands complete concentration, and very serious work if you think of acting as an art." NEW YORK (AP) The original Laugh-in crowd, whose uninhibited antics surprised an unprepared television audience almost five years ago. is pretty well broken up and scattered now.

By September, only four of the originals will be left: Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, of course, plus Gary Owen, imitating an old-line radio announcer, and Ruth Buzzi. the series' all-purpose singer, dancer and clown. But. among all the talent that has come and gone, only Goldie llawn, who quit after three memorable seasons playing a dumb bunny, has gone on to real star status. Maybe it was luck, more likely it was long preparation and a built-in sense of timing, but Goldie left Laugh-In right alter she had finished her role In the film adaptation of Cactus Flower, the rale thai later won her an Oscar.

A slight girl with enormous eyes, tousled hair and a dancer's body. Goldie delighted the public with a dumb blonde act and fumbling, confused introductions of Dan and Dick and her roles in sketches. "I had a three-year contract ith she explained. "At the end of the third year, I didn't want to stick around. And George Schlatter, then creator and executive producer of the series, and the others didn't want to hold me back.

"I just don't know whether it was timing," she said. "I know it is hard to quit when there is nothing special to go to. After all. I was going into. There's a Girl in My Soup, and I just don't know if 1 would have made the move if I hadn't had something waiting out there.

"I spent the first three Laugh-In shows just walking on and introducing people and things like that Suddenh I was messing up lines honestly and the studio audience laughed. That's how the thing started." Goldie in person is introspective, tentative and shy. She is a great reader and as passion 4 ml IXUi RAWLS a soul special on CTV Monday night.
