Just a century ago Eddie Foy was the consummate stage comedian. A
versatile performer, Foy contributed to the development of popular
theater from the Civil War to the Roaring Twenties, from
poverty-inspired Irish two-acts to lavish musical comedies. This
first-ever biography of Foy tells the story of his indigent
childhood in New York's Bowery and in Chicago, his tough uphill
climb as a 'variety artist' at Western outposts, his success in
vaudeville and Broadway, and his arrival as a national icon with
the Seven Little Foys. Foy's career mirrored the growth of popular
theater entertainment in America. Exhaustively researched, this
work contains many rare personal photographs from the Foy family
archives.
