A publication which will find a warm welcome among theatregoers is the “Australasian Stage Annual, the first number of which has just made its appearance. It will be especially popular on account of the large num ber of full-page engravings of popular actors, actresses, and concert performers excellently executed in an artistic brown shade. Beyond this, however it has claims to popularity onaccount of the following articles: —’The Story of My Life,” bv Madame Melba; Hie Church and the Stage,” by Wilson Barrett; “Players,” by Victor J. Dalev; “Once Upon a Time,” by Edwin J. Brady; “On Bell’s Line,” by Henry Lawson; “In the Good Old Days,” by J. I. Hunt; “A Prologue in Passion,” by Edwin J. Brady; “A Narrow Escape.” by Allene Crater; “Why the Station was Spared,” by Lancelot Booth; and reminiscences of theatrical and musical favourites.
