==Theater dancer==
Foy came to prominence in the John Murray Anderson Revue in March 1920. Foy once claimed she gained an inch of height simply by dancing during performances of ''Up She Goes'' (1922). She was twenty-one years old at the time. Her instructor explained that this happened because muscles stretch during vigorous dancing. By June 1923 she was dancing two hours per night during performances, appearing in two matinée shows per week, and also practising two hours daily. Another hour of her day was devoted to a dancing lesson. She obtained the role of "Sally" in ''Up She Goes'' when Marilyn Miller wed Jack Pickford and fell out with Florenz Ziegfeld.〔
In November 1924 Foy played the title character in ''Betty Lee'', a musical comedy which had an all-star cast. Lou Holt and Foy were the principal players in ''Patsy'' which debuted at the Mason Operahouse in Los Angeles, California on March 8, 1926. 100 showgirls participated in the production which was conceived and produced in southern California. Among the song ''divertissements'' was a rendition of ''Tiger Eyes'' which showcased Foy and five dancers. ''Patsy'' concluded its Los Angeles run in mid-May and was put on the road to San Francisco, California and then other American cities.〔
