Joyce began her motion picture career in a series of two-reel comedies produced by the Christie Film Company. She was named one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars of 1925. In 1927 she co-starred with Tom Mix in The Circus Ace for Fox Pictures. In 1928 she was part of the cast of Through the Breakers. The motion picture represented the initial use of the Picturetone sound process, developed by Lewis J. Selznick.

After being away from making movies for a time, Joyce returned in Cock o' the Walk (1930), also known as The Soul of the Tango. Produced by James Cruze, the cast included Joseph Schildkraut, Myrna Loy, and Olive Tell. The film was a Sono Art-World Wide Pictures release, and is now considered a lost film.
