Entre altres va actuar amb Henrietta Crossman i James A. Hernes en obres d'èxit.[4] Va actuar tant en teatre com en vodevil.[3] També va fer gires pel sud dels Estats Units amb la seva companyia amb obres com “413”, “The Sins of the Mothers” o “The Juggernaut”.[1] La seva carrera cinematogràfica va començar a la productora Edison Company.[5]

El 1908 va ser contractada com a actriu de cinema per la companyia Vitagraph Studios on va arribar a ser molt respectada per la seva versatilitat.[5] A la Vitagraph va ser una actriu molt popular. En una enquesta del 1915 realitzada per la revista Motion Picture Magazine es destacava en un dels primers llocs de la votació.[6] Entre les pel·lícules amb èxit d'aquella època es destacaven[4] Though your Sins be as Scarlet (1911), The Tiger Lily (1913), A Million Bid (1914), Two Women (1914), My Lady’s Slipper (1916), The Painted World (1919) i Shadows of the Past (1919).
