many days since we were in the neighbourhood of the Broad-street Station of the North London Line , and its neighbour , the Metropolitan Station of Bishopsgate , when it occurred to us that substantial refreshment was
desirable , and we sought and obtained it at the " Union Cafe , Restaurant Fran ^ ais , " 42 Old Broad-street . The " welcome snack " was capitally served , the surroundings being neat , comfortable , and business-like . Some coffee we also partook of was excellent , and as the raw material was ground
almost before our eyes ; we can speak of its genuineness . We can conscientiously recommend our friends to the " Union , " located as aforesaid , where there is ample accommodation for 150 customers at one time , and where
parties of three or four can enjoy their refreshment , if they wish , in private compartments , marked off from the General Cafe . Mr . 0 . Rosenberg , the proprietor , was recently chef at the London Tavern , Fenchurch-street , and is both a courteous and considerate host .

IT is well known that this is ono of tho best houses in London for Pantomime , and it is not surprising , therefore , that though somo weeks have elapsed since Boxing Day , the " Little Red Riding Hood , " purveyed for the public by our esteemed Bros . Douglass , should continue to be as great an attraction as it was on the opening night . There are one or two features noticeable abont " Standard "
Pantomimes . In the firsfc place the acting is good all round . Ifc ia nofc the case of one or two " bright particular stars" and the rest of the company but indifferent performers . Thero is a high level of excellence , and all engaged como up to it . Then , tho scenery is such as few theatres can place before an audience . This always has been remarkable , and is particularly so this year Scene 2 , " Region of
Perpetual Winter , " 7 , " Amidst the Forest Shades , " and 12 the transformation scene— " Under the Moonbeams on a Midsummer Night , " being in all respects worthy even of the well nigh inimitable taste and ability of Bro . Richard Douglas . As regards the opening part of the pantomime , it is in keeping with what we have said , the ballets ,
and particularly that described as the "Spectacular Ballet of the Gnomes of Folly , " in which the artists are literally whab the programme describes them , as " a galaxy of Living Constellations , " are marvels of taste and graceful arrangement . The Harlequinade is of the good old kind , and is thoroughly enjoyable by fche young folk .
