[5] She first came to the attention of Charles Frohman when he opened his production of the musical play "The Girl from Up There", starring Edna May, at the Herald Square theatre in January 1901.

By the time he transferred his production to the Duke of York's Theatre in London's West End in April that year, he had recruited Pauline onto the cast (as Sybilla).

That production was only a moderate success, but returning to the USA in September, she created a sensation as the Pink Pajama Girl in "The Liberty Belles".

She loved the town so much that she had her mother's body exhumed from her grave in Washington and reburied in Holy Trinity Church, Marlow.

Pauline had become a social beauty with many famous and influential friends and admirers, and together with Charles Frohman she mixed in the highest circles and led an extravagant lifestyle.

[7] She retired from the stage after the Christmas run of Peter Pan ended in 1913 to marry banker Captain Alexander Victor Drummond.

[3] She came out of retirement in 1916 for her only screen appearance in The Real Thing at Last, a satirical film scripted by Barrie and shown at a benefit for the YMCA, attended by members of the British royal family.
