In her youth, Withers lived in Coffeyville, Kansas and Illinois. She attended school in Kansas City, Missouri. She later enrolled in a school of drama in Kansas City and joined a Chautauqua circuit repertoire company. At the time it was playing in Billings, Montana performing The Melting Pot, a play by Israel Zangwill. Following a route of tented colleges, Withers first appeared on the road in Little Women. She played the leading role in The Tailor Made Man after a season in stock theatre in Utica, New York. She performed in Cappy Ricks in Chicago. George M.

While in New York Withers modeled for an exclusive gown shop during the day. Henry Duffy wired her to come to San Francisco, California to do Kempy just as she was on her way to visit her mother in Los Angeles. She made her way south acting in Love Em and Leave 'Em and Rain.
