BOX OF TRICKS

SIR,—The cabaret on 'the former premises of a horse butcher' mentioned in Mr. Michael's article 'Box of Tricks' must be Le Cheval d'Or.

It certainly has not disappeared. As the Cheval not yet been hitched to the tourist wagon, the place closes down for the summer.

Ricet-Barrier, one of its founders, is now in London writing music for the Edinburgh Festival's The Dream of Peter Mann. He has the cabaret front door key in his pocket ready for the reopening in September.' Yours faithfully, 139 Adelaide Road, NW 3 FRANK OUNI19,1
