She created the role of Mollie Molloy (who jumps out the window) in "The Front Page." Other plays included "Chicago," "Another Language," and "On Borrowed Time." "Life With Father," written by her husband, was turned down by everyone (including Lunt and Fontanne), so she and Howard played the parts in summer stock, bringing it finally to Broadway's Empire Theater on 8 Nov 1939. It closed seven years and 3,224 performances later, still the longest running nonmusical on Broadway.)
