D'Alroy's career was cut short when at 33 she died. She first appeared on the stage in 1902. After touring with Ben Greet's company for a time, she joined Sir Herbert Beerbohm at His Majesty's Theatre. With Beerbohm she played several parts in Shakespeare's plays: Ophelia (1910), Portia (The Merchant of Venice also in 1910), and Oberon (1911). Who Was Who in the Theatre reports that her favorite role was Ophelia.
