Film career
Hyland began acting after consulting a seer who foretold great success for the diminutive English girl. Once she played in support of Cyril Maude who is known for his Grumpy and The Basker.
Her first film is John Halifax, Gentleman (1915), in which she played Ursula March. The same year she appeared in Infelice, directed by L.C. MacBean and Fred Paul. In 1916 she was Olette in The Sixteenth Wife and co-starred with E.H. Sothern in The Chattle. In 1917, she appeared in drama Her Right to Live as the head of a brood of orphans destined for the poohouse.
In The Merry-Go-Round (1919) Hyland plays Gypsy/Susie Alice Pomeroy. Newspapers of the era described the romance as one of the actress' best performances. In the Debt of Honour (1918) she sacrifices her good name to shield the reputation of a U.S. Senator who has taken her in his home as an orphan.
Hyland's film credits number forty. She remained active in films until 1925. Among her many appearances are roles in The Honeypot (1920), Faith (1920), Love Maggy (1921), Shifting Sands (1923) and Forbidden Cargoes (1925). Black Shadows was a 1920 Fox Film feature in which Peggy portrayed Marjorie Langdon. The production starred Allan Roscoe and was directed by Howard M. Mitchell.
