With her then-husband, Sammy White, Puck appeared in the original 1927 Broadway stage version of the classic musical Show Boat. In the musical, White played the role of comic dancer Frank Schultz, and Puck played the role of Ellie May Chipley, who eventually marries Frank. The two reprised their roles in the first Broadway revival of the show, in 1932. However, by the time the Universal Pictures film version was made in 1936, the two had divorced, so the role of Ellie went to Queenie Smith, with White repeating his performance as Frank in the film.

Puck and White appeared in a short film made by Lee De Forest in his Phonofilm sound-on-film process, which premiered at the Rivoli Theater in New York City on 15 April 1923. The film showed Puck and White's comic routine entitled "Opera Vs. Jazz", and is preserved in the Maurice Zouary film collection at the Library of Congress.
