Eddie Foy, in "Off the Earth will be
at the Lansing theatre next Tuesday
evening, December s. Read what Mr..
Fhister, the able critic Of the Cinciu-
matt Commercial Tribune, November l6,
1896. says:
MANY people were agreeably disap-
pointed at the Walnut Street theatre
last night. The word many is used
advisedly, for the audience was one Of
the largest gathered at that house upon
Sunday night in many months. and the
disappointment, agreeable, as has been
said, came through the fact that the
performance was much better than had
been expected; in fact, a better per-
Torrance than any of the Foy companies
have given here in years. "Off the
Earth was not such dazzling thing
at the outset, and it would perhaps be
extravagant praise 10 term it great
travesty or burles9ue, but il certainly
has improved, as indeed, has Mr.. Foy
himself, and as prescribed last evening
fairly deserved the liberal applause be-
slowed both upon the piece and the
performers.
Eddie Foy's star has not been in the
ascendrncy for the past several seasons.
"OH the Earth" was not big money
winner, and then came that disastrous
undertaking Robinson Crusoe.' Last
year Mr.. Foy was induced to undertake
the leading role IN The Strange Adven-
lures OF Miss Brown" in q Sc ,ond com.
pany, and before the season was out.

theatre goers must admit that he is
alone in this particular field. He pre-
tends to nothing; he attempts nothing

none are deceived. He made fortune
for both David Henderson and himself
