Sole Film
Her only screen credit is a small role in Dancing Lady (1934). The MGM motion picture reunited Clark Gable and Joan Crawford for the fourth time on film, this time in a musical comedy in which Crawford replaces Foy as the star of a Broadway show. The unique supporting cast includes Franchot Tone, dancer Fred Astaire in his first screen appearance, humorist Robert Benchley, and comedian Ted Healy and his Three Stooges.
Sometime in 1934 Foy returned to New York and resumed work as a star of musical comedy. She returned to Los Angeles and was the guest of Kay Kyser at the Miramar Theater in September. While Kyser entertained with music, Foy and Edwards danced together with Sidney Blackmer and Suzanne Kaaren.

Famous quotes containing the words sole and/or film:
“Curiosity is only vanity. Most frequently we wish to know only to talk. Thus we would not take a sea voyage—if we were never to speak of it—for the sole pleasure of seeing without hope of ever communicating it.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
