The imperishably great British director Terence Davies has died. An artist like no other. This, from his autobiographical trilogy, typically brims with tenderness and unspoken eloquence, showing the central character en route to his mother’s funeral. RIP

Who remembers Paige? The original guinea gown shop, where you were free to try on dresses - a novelty in 1935! Here's the branch in the Mount Royal building, 526 Oxford St - oddly, calling itself 'Page' rather than the usual 'Paige'.
