# Achilles Painter

The Achilles Painter was a vase-painter active ca. 470–425 BC. His name vase is an amphora, Vatican 16571, in the Vatican Museums depicting Achilles and dated 450–445 BC. An armed and armored Achilles gazes pensively to the right with one hand on his hip. The other hand holds a spear. On the opposite surface a woman performs libation.
J. D. Beazley attributed over 200 vases to his hand, the largest share being red-figure and white-ground lekythoi. In his middle phase (ca. 450–445 BC), he decorates more open forms. The Achilles Painter was a late pupil of the Berlin Painter.
The Phiale Painter became the Achilles Painter's most prominent student after he assumed the Berlin Painter's workshop. Almost a dozen other recognizable painters passed through the Achilles Painter's workshop as well. Notable painters include the Westreenen Painter, the Persephone Painter, the Clio Painter, Loeb Painter, and the Dwarf Painter. The Kleophon Painter, the Sabouroff Painter, and the Painter of Munich 2335 all spent time at the workshop as well.

## Appraisal

Beazley describes him thus:
    He is the great master of the white lekythos. His red-figure vases nearly always have a sober beauty, but few of them–like the pointed amphora in the Cabinet des Médailles–reach the height of his best white lekythoi, which are among the masterpieces of ancient drawing.
In 1962, Greece issued a stamp featuring the decoration of an Achilles Painter white-ground lekythos.

# Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema

The Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema (formerly the Bloor Cinema and the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema) is a movie theatre in The Annex district of downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located on the 506 Bloor Street West, near its intersection with the Bathurst Street and the Bathurst subway station.
The venue serves as the primary home to the annual Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, as well as screening a regular theatrical lineup of documentary films throughout the year and serving as a venue for other smaller film festivals and cultural events.

## History

In 1913, the Madison Picture Palace opened at this location. It was demolished in 1940 and rebuilt as the Midtown Theatre. It was renamed the Capri in 1967. In 1973, it became the Eden, showing adult films. It became the Bloor in 1979 and returned to showing first-run films. One year later, it was sold, becoming an independent repertory-style theatre. It was sold to the Blue Ice Group in 2011 and to the Hot Docs Festival in 2016.
For a large part of recent history, the Bloor Cinema was a second-run theatre, showing movies that had already been in theatres, usually before they were released on video and DVD. The theatre screened classic films, art films, and cult films. The Rocky Horror Picture Show was traditionally screened with a live cast on Halloween and on the last Friday of every month. The Bloor Cinema was repeatedly selected as the best repertory cinema in Toronto by Eye Weekly. The theatre was independent and reopened after its renovation in 1999.

## Hot Docs

Although it was closed in 2010, the Bloor Cinema's owner turned away developers looking to replace the theatre. In 2011, it was sold to the Blue Ice Group which managed the cinema in partnership with the Hot Docs, where it was renovated and reopened under the moniker the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema in 2012. It is the main location for the Hot Docs, akin to the Toronto International Film Festival's Lightbox.
On June 23, 2016, it was announced that the Hot Docs had purchased the Bloor Cinema from the Blue Ice Group, using a CA$4 million gift from the Rogers Foundation, and that the cinema would be rebranded as the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema.
In the wake of a staffing upheaval that had impacted the 2024 edition of the festival, the Hot Docs announced the temporary closure of the theatre for three months starting June 12 as a cost-cutting measure. The theatre reopened in September 2024 for third party rentals. Hot Docs programming at the theatre resumed in December 2024. Hot Docs is seeking a new owner for the theatre and wants to secure a lease-back arrangement, which is "part of its longer-term rebuilding strategy", according to a statement by the festival.

# Stephen J. Stilwell

Stephen J. Stilwell (May 10, 1866 – April 20, 1942) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

## Life

He was born on May 10, 1866, on a farm just on the border line between Mount Vernon and Yonkers, in Westchester County, New York, the son of William J. Stilwell and Mary D. (Archer) Stilwell. He attended the Union Free School in Yonkers, graduated from New York University School of Law, was admitted to the bar, and practiced in Mount Vernon. For some time he owned and edited The Reformer, the Democratic newspaper of Mount Vernon.
Stilwell was a member of the New York State Senate (21st D.) from 1909 to 1913, sitting in the 132nd, 133rd, 134th, 135th and 136th New York State Legislatures. In 1913, Stilwell was accused by George H. Kendall, President of the New York Bank Note Company, of demanding a bribe of $3,500 to pass legislation which would make it a misdemeanor for the New York Stock Exchange to refuse certificates engraved by the New York Bank Note Company. The case was investigated by the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, but Stilwell was cleared by a vote of 28 to 21 in the Senate.
The report of the Senate investigation was then forwarded to D.A. of New York County Charles S. Whitman who prosecuted the case in the New York Supreme Court. Stilwell was convicted of bribery, and automatically forfeited his seat in the State Senate on May 24, 1913. He was sentenced by Justice Samuel Seabury to not less than four or more than eight years in prison, and on July 15, 1913, began serving his term in Sing Sing. On February 9, 1914, he was transferred to Great Meadow State Prison in Comstock.
In April 1941, he was arrested on a charge of attempted bribery, and remained incarcerated in the Westchester County Jail. On February 9, 1942, he pleaded guilty, and died on April 20 in Grasslands Hospital in Valhalla, New York, where he was receiving medical treatment while awaiting sentence in custody.
