Her last silent picture was "Down Stream", followed by the talkies "The Call of the Sea", "Kissing Cup's Race" and "Enter the Queen". In September. 1930, she went into musical comedy, playing principal parts and scoring heavily in "Opon your Eyes" and "Lavender". She achieved her most notable personal success to date as Simonetta in "Carnival" with Matheson Lang, directed by Herbert Wilcox. Under the same producer she appeared in "Shuttlecock" with Joseph Schildkraut and Brigitte Helm.

Dorothy, früher Chili Bouchier, kam zum Film aus dem bekannten Londoner Modenhause Harrod, wo sie als Mannequin tätig war. Ein Filmagent sah sie während einer Vorführung, verschaffte ihr sofort eine Anstellung und dann eine Rolle in Anthony Asquiths stummem Film ..Shooting Stars". Das war im Jahre 1927. Seither ist Dorothy Bouchier ein Filmstar erster Größe geworden und hat große Rollen — besonders Vamps — in einer respektablen Anzahl von Filmen verkörpert. Auf ..Shooting Stars" folgten sofort „Chick" und „Palais de Dance".
Im Jahre 1928 spielte Dorothy Bouchier ihre erste Hauptrolle mit Maurice Elvey in ..\ou Know \^ hat Sailors Are!" Sodann kamen ..Warned Off" und ..The Silver Ring", dann 1929 ihr Tonfilmdebüt in dem Film „The City of Play". Ihre letzte stumme Rolle war in „Down Stream", der die Tonfilme ..The Call of the Sea", „Kissing Cup s Race" und ..Enter the Queen" folgten. Im September 1930 ging Dorothv Bouchier zur Operette über, wo sie in ..Open vour Eyes" und „Lavender" großen Erfolg errang. Gekrönt wurden ihre Erfolge in der letzten Zeit durch die Simonetta in ..Carnival" mit IVIatbeson Lang unter der Regie von Herbert Wilcox. In „Shuttlecock" war Dorothy Bouchier Partnerin von Josef Schildkraut und Brigitte Helm. Die Namensändermig von Chili auf Dorothy Bouchier ist erfolgt, weil man in England annimmt, daß ..Dorothy" sich für die ernsthaften Rollen, die die Künstlerin jetzt spielt, besser eignet.
