Scanlap did the most profitable work of the

an Irish piece with much the same motive and
color as the rest he has given US during his en-
gagement Tie only man who made the slight
est departure from The traditional Irish drama
was Dion Boucicault. He possessed advantages
over other constructors in this line, first, that
he had discovered characteristics and possibil-
ties IN Pat which had escaped their superficial
search, and second, he had she ability to put into
his text the true expression Of the Irish heart
and soul. How meager how utterly poverty
stricken and coorleSs are all dramatic pictures
