  A popular question I am asked is where can you get my books. First thing I would do is check the BOOKS page on this website to see that they are still in print. If they are, here are three ways to get my books. 1. Wordsworth Books in Waterloo - You can shop online or in the store.  2. Amazon Worldwide - Print or E-book - Search Paul Langan. Beware there is a popular American author by the same name so insert the title of the book into the search engine. 3. Rakuten/Kobo Worldwide - https://www.kobo.com/ca/en 4 . Contact Page on this Website - If you live local and I have copies at home you can email me and you can pick one up from my home. Cash only.

  Kent Theatre 1219 Ottawa Street - 1946, 1960 and January 2021 Many old theatres have been torn down in Canada. Windsor was not immune to seeing some of their beautiful theatres neglected and demolished. Windsorites should rejoice in having the Capitol and Tivoli Theatres still standing proud. Some Windsor folk will not realize that there are other Windsor theatres still standing. The interior of these theatres may have been torn out but are still standing and have current owners. Kent Theatre Opening 1946 The Kent Theatre located at 1219 Ottawa Street was opened in 1946. One of the first movies to play there was Valley in the Sun. (see photo above with movie poster out front of the Kent) Here is a link to trailer for that movie. http://pmd.cdn.turner.com/tcm/big/tcmweb/TRAILERS/2012/06/ValleyOfTheSun_TR_133a_24f_mobile-baseline.mp4 1960 - Kingdom Hall Of The Jehovah's Witnesses The theatre has had different uses over the years.

Film Detective Releases on Blu-ray or DVD Restored  Sherlock Holmes Classics Amazing Sherlock Holmes Film Box Set Featuring Restored Arthur Wontner and Reginald Owen   The last couple years I have written about the need to restore the existing Arthur Wontner Sherlock Holmes Films. Some people commented that it would never happen. Thankfully they are wrong!  Over the years there have been many releases of  dreadfully poor quality versions of the Arthur Wontner Sherlock Holmes films. Previously, The Sign of Four: Sherlock Holmes' Greatest Case (1932) was beautifully restored by Ealing Studios, Network and Studio Canal. It is available from Amazon on dvd - Ealing Studios Rarities Collection Volume 14. Then Philip Hopkins from Film Detective restored the Silver Blaze (1937) (USA title: Murder at the Baskervilles, release 1941), based on "The Adventure of Silver Blaze".  Jeff Joseph, long time film collector, historian restored  Fatal Hour (The Sleeping Cardinal 1931) .
