Yorkshire Pantomime
JN the excitement of getting off to the pantomime we never would eat a proper meal, with the result that by the time the pantomime started we were ravenous. Of course all this was a routine matter
with our elders, who produced all that was wanted in the refreshment line from a black bag. And all our eatables were topped off with an orange, as Stanley Holloway says, "one each a-piece all round." There was nothing unusual in seeing a gallery of hundreds of people eating away or sucking oranges. The cleaners must have blessed us the next morning when they tackled their job. But Yorkshire people were like that-feasts were the order of the day at christenings, weddings, funerals, and family parties of all kinds.-(" Ebor," in Station 2YA’s Children’s Session, August 11.)
