In 1926, she scored one of her greatest successes as the sophisticated spouse of a philandering husband in W. Somerset Maugham's comedy, "The Constant Wife" (Maugham counted himself among her admirers, saying that during rehearsals for the play he had "fallen madly in love with her.") She starred in "Rasputin and the Empress" (1932), playing the czarina married to Czar Nicholas. In July 1934, she starred in the play "Laura Garnett", by Leslie and Sewell Stokes, at Dobbs Ferry, New York.
