During the 1920s Carroll had the lead in a successful Broadway play, The Green Bay Tree (based on the novel of the same name by Louis Bromfield), and in 1941 starred with Vincent Price and Judith Evelyn in Patrick Hamilton's Angel Street (Gas Light), which ran for three years at the Golden Theatre on 45th Street in New York City.
