After beginning her career in provincial theatres in Britain in music hall and pantomime in the 1880s, Ediss was engaged to play in a series of extraordinarily successful musical comedies at the Gaiety Theatre, London, beginning in 1896, and also played in several musicals on Broadway.
During World War I, she began a long tour in Australia, returning to London in 1919 to play in farces and comedies.
She made a few films in the 1930s.
