The gauntleted hand stabbed the

EVERYBODY WORKS LIKE
FATHER In FOY FAMILY

Comedians may come. comedians may
go, but Eddie Foy goees on forever. and
the best Of it is that Eddie and Mrs. Foy
have been such good disciples of Roose-
welt that the name of Foy is likely to
be continued in American theatricals for
more years than ever Rider Haggard's
Ayesha would confess to. But Eddie Foy
and the seven little Foys, aided and
abetted by Mrs Foy, have mobilized to
the Keith Circuit.
There was an old song. Everybody
Works But Father" but in the Foy
family everybodys works like father. and
an octette of funny Foys Is too laugh
able for description in cold type. There
never was such a family Of talent as the
Foys. OF course Eddie's comicalities are
a byword in every American homo. but
wherever his family has appeared they
have become almost equally famous.

"OUR LITTLE WIFE"-Times:
Our Little Wife" is a clever, char

mounted by the Selwyns and is well
played, except for the fact that
