Mutual Film Company announced she would star in the The Bobbed Hair Bandit but the film was never made. Producer D.W. Griffith cast her in The Sorrow Of Satan and helped her get a contract at Paramount. For a brief time she was engaged to her agent Frank Orsatti.
Ruby costarred with Ken Maynard in the Westerns Gun-Hand Garrison and Ridin' Luck. Many magazine writers said she resembled actress Norma Shearer.
