The Creators of Foxy Grandpa (1902)

Overview

The "Foxy Grandpa" is a series of eight short staged films illustrating scenes and incidents from William A. Brady's musical production ‘Foxy Grandpa’ which, in turn, was based on Carl E. "Bunny" Schultze's comic strip of the same name. This picture, the first in the series, shows the artist and the actors from the musical being introduced to the audience. They are cartoonist Carl E. Schultze (“Bunny"); Joseph Hart, who plays "Foxy Grandpa"; Carrie DeMar, who appears as "Polly"; and the two child actors who portray the mischievous boys, “Chub" and “Bunt.” This film is currently lost.
