Eddie Foyer

The first part of Mr. Foyer’s act is entirely waste of time, the poorest kind of comedy. The last part gets considerably applause. But I think that the greater part of the audience realized that it is largely bunk and I noticed considerable uneasiness among the audience. He may know one thousand poems, but although I have seen the act several times, he always does the Dan McGrew poem for the opening and a choice of two to be selected by the audience. Of the others he seems to know a few lines. I don’t think much of it as a vaudeville act. 24 min. and it seemed like an hour. In one.
