Her mother moved to Denver to teach at the Tabor School of Acting, and Colorado was home to Maude for much of her life.
Her mother Margaret Fealy was an actress, and Maude made her first

By 1907 she was a well-known actress, appearing on magazine covers and
touring the the United States and England in comedies and dramatic plays
