Later he joined other minstrel troupes such as Simmons and Slocomb and Tony Pastors Minstrels before entering vaudeville to play Ko-Ko in W. S.

Dazey, Foxy Grandpa (an adaptation from the Carl E. Schultze comic strip, 1901–05) and Girls Will Be Girls (1903–04), the latter two written in collaboration with Melville Baker.[3] Hart and his wife, Carrie DeMar, later reprised their Foxy Grandpa roles in two short films, The Boys Think They Have One on Foxy Grandpa and Foxy Grandpa and Polly in a Little Hilarity.[5] Hart's later years were primarily spent as a writer and producer of vaudeville shows.[6] MarriageOn August 1, 1894, Hart married his co- star Carrie De Mar,[7] an actress, dancer and singer whom he had worked with for a number of years.
