 Choosing Hollywood over a return to France, Chautard went to work for Famous Players-Lasky and other studios.He received some high-profile assignments, for instance a Colleen Moore vehicle and two features for Derelys Perdue, but he was a generation older than other directors in Hollywood's French colony.After 1924 Chautard did not direct again, but continued to make film appearances, in the von Sternberg film "Blonde Venus" (1932), where he appears for his former protege as "Night club owner Chautard".
