Clara Kimball Young appeared in a number of talking films, in leads, featured roles, bits, and, supposedly, as an extra. I am providing only a brief listing, with a comment on Young's role if I know anything about it. Her presence in all of these films has not been confirmed. Further information on these films can be found in the Internet Movie Database or in The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures Produced in the United States. v. F3. Feature Films, 1931-1940.
Kept Husbands (1931) RKO. Young, fifth billed, has a key comic role as a society matron who bullies her "kept husband" and talks baby talk to her pekinese. Available on video.
Women Go on Forever (1931) Tiffany. Young had a leading role. LOST
Mother and Son (1931) Trem Carr/Monogram. Interesting little film, though cheap and badly recorded. Young's performance has its ups and downs but is overall very good, especially in the climax at the card table. She still looks good here (compared to Return of Chandu). She plays an ex-gambling casino owner who is forced to return to her profession after the stock market crash, just as her son is getting involved with thrill-seeking society snobs who won't approve of her (though they are not above dropping a fortune at the tables themselves). Interesting glimpse of 1931 Reno. Available on video.
File 113 (1932) Allied.
Probation (1932) Chesterfield. Available on video.
Love Bound (1932) Peerless. AKA Murder on the High Seas. Available on video.
I Can't Escape (1934) Beacon. Available on video.
Romance in the Rain (1934) Universal.
The Return of Chandu (1934) Principal. A serial, re-released as two features, The Return of Chandu and Chandu on the Magic Island. Available on video. Young has a prominent role as Chandu's sister who is hosting the princess that the villains keep temporarily succeeding in kidnapping.
She Married Her Boss (1935) Columbia. Young is billed but onscreen for only a couple shots (and looks rather melancholy, perhaps realizing her part is ending up on the cutting room floor)--(comments courtesy of Christopher Snowden)
His Night Out (1935) Universal.
Atlantic Adventure (1935) Columbia.
Fighting Youth (1935) Universal.
Fighting Coward (1935) Victory.
Hollywood Extra Girl (1935) Paramount. Short promotional film for De Mille's The Crusades. Young, who is third billed, has a touching bit as an embittered extra wearily applying her makeup and saying she keeps at it to feed her family.
The Crusades (1935) Paramount. According to contemporary newspaper articles, Young was an extra in this film.
The Drunkard (1935) Weiss Productions. Young, with face partially obscured by a large hat, has only a brief bit as a skeptical friend of one of the producers, and is not in the play proper.
Ants in the Pantry (1936) Columbia. A Three Stooges short in which Young has a prominent part as a society woman throwing a party, while The Stooges, playing exterminators, plant various vermin in her house and attempt to eradicate them. She gets ants dumped on her back, has her coat eaten by moths, and a mouse put on her foot. Contrary to reports in Films in Review, she is not hit with a pie. She gives a spirited and expressive performance and holds her own well with the Stooges.
Three on the Trail (1936) Paramount. A Hopalong Cassidy western. Available on video.
Oh, Susanna! (1936) Republic. A Gene Autry western. Available on video.

The Last Assignment (1936)
Dangerous Waters (1936) Universal. Unbilled.
The Black Coin (1936) A serial. Incomprehensible (and interminable). Ralph Graves is so bad that they keep him off the screen as much as possible, leaving the action to Dave O'Brien and Ruth Mix. Clara plays Dave O'Brien's Mexican aunt. She sports a light accent is very attractively garbed in a black dress and mantilla. It's a small part and she only appears in a handful of episodes. Available on video.
News, News (1937) Columbia. Comedy short.
Hills of Old Wyoming (1937) Paramount. A Hopalong Cassidy western; Clara has a sizable character part as the woman who runs the trading post, and has a lot of comic byplay with Gabby Hayes. Available on video.

The Mysterious Pilot (1937) Columbia
The Frontiersmen (1938) Paramount. A Hopalong Cassidy western, Clara plays the wife of a rancher and has a comic scene with Gabby Hayes. Available on video.

Clara Kimball Young appeared in many Vitagraph films from at least 1912 to 1915, though some sources place her there as early as 1909. These films are not well documented, so this is only a provisional list. Most are from American film index, 1908-1915 by Einar Lauritzen, and its index American Film Personnel and Company Credits, 1908-1920, by Paul C. Spehr, supplemented by John Cocchi's list which appeared in Films in Review in October 1961. I have found that some films, for which she is listed in some sources, she does not actually appear (i.e. Ransomed, or, A Prisoner of War (1910), Lady Godiva (1911)). I have added comments when I have seen the film, and archival location when available. All are from Vitagraph unless otherwise noted.
