She played in a variety of comic and dramatic roles in Britain with several companies and toured America early in the 20th century with Charles Hawtrey.

[4] Her London debut came on 15 October 1870 at the St James's Theatre playing the title role in Southerland Edwards's adaptation of Sardou's Fernande.

The group raised and distributed money and arranged for medical services and the loan and creation of mothers' and children's clothing, including by running weekly sewing bees.

Two years later she produced and played the lead in R. V. Harcourt's 1905 comedy, An Angle Unawares, which opened in London at Terry's Theatre on 12 September.

[18][19] She may have concluded her career in the latter part of 1913 playing O'Mara, a role she is said to have performed with vibrant, infectious humour in a Drury Lane Theatre production of Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton's comedy, Sealed Orders.
