Eddie Foy and the Seven Little Foys for the Keystone Company as published in Moving Picture World in 1915.

Although there are eight, not seven. The eighth may be Mrs. Foy, Madeleine Morando Foy, who travelled with the act for a time.

For Shoe the World Day: Show Business Looks at Shoe Business

Know thou of the Giant Shoe Museum at Pike Place Market in Seattle? Its mandate is not shoes as big as houses (although that’s entirely possible), but shoes worn by pituitary giants, including those of the famous Robert Wadlow. We mention it today because, in addition to being the Ides of March, March 15 also happens to be National Shoe the World Day. The day is designed to raise awareness of…

It's 1984, Eddie just officially moved into the trailer after officially being abandoned by his dad, and Wayne just wanted to nap on the couch.

Eddie: Dad. Hey, dad. Dad! DAD! JESUS H CHRIST! Dad! DadDadDadDAD! Hey, Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! For fuck's sake. . .newly appointed father of mine!

Wayne: WHAT?!

Eddie: *giggles* HI! *runs off*

Wayne: Sweet Lord. . .*pause* Wait, did he just call me dad?

Je suis en train de découvrir les œuvres de Édouard Louis, que j'ai sur ma liste de livres à lire depuis si longtemps, et comment vous dire que je chiale ma race en lisant En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule cette autobiographie est si belle et si touchante mais elle met quelques mega claques dans la gueule franchement si vous êtes un fragile comme moi c'est pas un bon bail genre je suis obligé de faire des pauses dans ma lecture tellement je suis choqué

Lmaoooooo if your entire blog is dedicated to defending someone else's book rn please go touch grass 😂😂 make something of your own just for gods sake stop wasting all your time on the savior complex for a writer who couldn't give two shits about your opinion or mine

Omg 🥹

Aw! 🥰

This has softened me a little toward the book.

Before the house burned down, who was paying the property tax and utilities? I doubt it was Eddie

I’ve always wondered why Wayne, a single man, childless man working at the local plant (and knowing that plant/factory work actually pays decently well back then), would live in a run down trailer instead of his own small house

Now I’m wondering if he was paying Al’s bills behind the scenes so Eddie would still have a home to go to

I finally started reading Flight of Icarus and I’m so confused because it’s implying Wayne and Eddie don’t live together…even though Eddie literally flat out says he lives with Wayne in the first episode of the season?

Of Foy and "Frontier Marshall"

Balk if you must; scoff if you will; but all roads lead to vaudeville. Case in point, I had an entirely different agenda in catching Frontier Marshal (1939) on Criterion’s streaming platform a few days ago. It had to do with my long-simmering “westerns project”. My book (actually two now) about the genre has been in the works for about 15 years now. It was originally intended to be the follow-up…

Jesse Munson X Elizabeth Franklin

Dude, dudes, DUDES (again I mean this in a very gender neutral way), the parallels of book Eddie walking away from his friends because he didn't want to hurt them but also fame and popularity, and Steve walking away from his friends and popularity because he didn't want to hurt other people. They both did it because of a girl and because they both didn't want to want to wind up like their dad. There are so many Steddie crumbs in the book. If people just look for them.

Edit: ALSO, Eddie eventually walked back to his old friends, Steve never walked back to his old ones and instead gained new better friends.

i know this book is about eddie meeting a woman that offers him a record deal or whatever but if i have to read about him developing any kind of romantic and / or sexual feelings for that woman i will scream
