Eddie Foy and The Seven Foys

Location:
Theater:
Date:
The set is a woodland scene with a large shoe in the center.
The youngest Foy carries most of the comedy work, while one of the girls does most of the singing.
"The Old Woman in the Shoe" by William Jerome and George V. Hobart.
Many of the bits, as well as the Chaplin-esque makeup on one of the younger children earned hearty laughs.
It gives the impression of becoming very successful in the future, although it is not yet at its best. With some work, this could be the Foys' best act ever.
