Dore returned to Los Angeles where she began acting in uncredited roles in silent pictures and two reelers such as Johnny’s Week End and Adam’s Eve, before moving on to full feature talkies. First receiving top billing in minor pictures like Beyond London Lights (1928), then continuing with minor roles alongside such stars as Clara Bow in The Wild Party (1929).
In 1931, Dore obtained a contract with Warner Bros., and had supporting roles in Union Depot (1932) and The Rich Are Always with Us (1932) with Bette Davis. She met and married independent or B film producer Burt Kelly, who, along with Sam Bischoff and William Saal, headed KBS productions. Her last role was in Undercover Men, a 1934 Kelly film.
