I truly doubt it!
From Anchors Online: "After leaving school she taught in the public schools of her state [Mississippi] until her marriage to Mr. D.A. Ellington in 1882. A few years after they were married, Mr. Ellington died, leaving her four small girls to rear, which she did nobly. She saw that each daughter was well fitted for life and graduated from college. For a few years after the death of her husband, she lived in California but was called back to Mississippi to care for her father, who was in failing health. After her father passed away, she went back to Kosciusko to live in her old home on the same street as her good friends, Mary Comfort Leonard and Eva Webb Dodd, and to continue that unusual lifelong friendship."
Doesn't seem like she had time or energy for a stage career!
