14 JANUARY 1893, Page 22

The Entr'acte Annual for 1893 is , as usual, a pleasant

mixture of jollity and pathos, illustrated by Mr. Alfred Bryan in his broadly effective style. As an example of a simple story agree- ably told, we can heartily recommend Mr. Combos's "A Star by Accident ;" while under the too accurate title of "A Dramatic Meteor," Mr. Hollingshead gives a sketch of that brilliant tragi- comic actor, Robson, whose career came to a painfully pathetic end.
