A reviewer commented favorably about her playful acting quality, citing her diverting gaminerie. Greuze appeared as Marian Somerset in The Recoil (1917), with William Courtenay.

In November 1915 she was paid $200 for a kiss on the French liner Rochambeau. The ship was en route to New York and Greuze was passing a collection bag for charity. She overheard a man remark that he would donate the sum in return for a kiss from her.
