Scan lan knelt behind an immense floral harp on the stage of the Detroit opera house as he sang a third stanzaof "Peek-i-Boo,'( in response to au encoré. The harp not only symbolized the title of of the Insh minstrel given Mr. Scanlan on the billboards, butit also illustrated, in a deree, his Detroit popularity. As he peered through the floral strings of the harp last evening he saw a great mass of faces turned toward him with most unmistakable symptoms of pleasure depicted on them. In the light of such popularity what matters it if, from a critical point of view, this entertaining comedian' new play, "Shane-na-lawn," is musty in plot and incident, meager in dramatic situations, and very uneven in dialogue, some of which is a drearily commoniilace as some of the lines given the star are uncommonly bright.
