In 1899 Darcourt was in the casts of Le Faubourg and Les Amants Legitimes in Paris.[9][10] She was in Sylvie, ou La Curieuse d'Amour in 1900.[11] In 1901 she was in the cast of Paul Hervieu's play, The Trail of the Torch, when it debuted at the Théatre du Vaudeville.[12] In 1903, she was described as "particularly good" in a production of L'Adversaire by Alfred Capus.[13] She was considered a fashionable woman; reports and photographs of her gowns were published internationally.[14]
