[citation needed] In 1919–1920 the couple starred in a play, The Master Thief, based on a story by Richard Washburn Child, which did well.

In 1924, a silent-film adaptation of The Age of Innocence was released by Warner Brothers; directed by Wesley Ruggles, it starred Bayne as Countess Olenska and Elliott Dexter as Newland Archer.

On reflecting, Bushman believed their demise in films was caused by a new valet who inadvertently snubbed Louis B. Mayer.

Others contend that the Hollywood establishment disapproved of Bushman divorcing his wife and marrying the much younger Bayne.

Her only sound film was The Naked City (1948) with Barry Fitzgerald and Howard Duff, although her name does not appear in the credits.

In 1960, Bayne received a motion pictures star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1752 Vine Street.
