Anderson made her professional debut as Francee Anderson in 1915 at the age of 17. She played the role of Stephanie at the Theatre Royal, Sydney, in A Royal Divorce. Leading the company was the very popular English actor, Julius Knight whom Anderson later credited with laying the foundations of her acting skills. In the company were some American actors who influenced Francee to try her luck in America. Francee went to California but was unsuccessful, so she tried New York, with equal lack of success. After a period of poverty and illness, she found work with the Emma Bunting Stock Company at the 14th Street Theatre in 1918-19.

She struggled at first, working irregularly, but she soon made her Broadway debut in Martin Brown’s Cobra. By the late 1920s, her performances in dramas such as Eugene O’Neill’s Strange Interlude and Mourning Becomes Electra earned Anderson a reputation as an actress whose performances displayed emotional depth and intensity.
