She continued to be active on Broadway and in American film through the 1940s. The Doris Nolan papers (1930-1944) document her career through photographs, scrapbooks, programs, and pressbooks. The collection contains publicity photographs of Nolan and her costars in films such as The Man I Marry (1936), Top of the Town (1937), and Holiday (1938), and in plays such as Arrest That Woman (1936), Tell Me, Pretty Maiden (1937), The Doughgirls (1942) and the touring production of The Man Who Came to Dinner (1941).
