Murray appeared in the title role in the Erich von Stroheim-directed film "The Merry Widow" (1925), opposite John Gilbert. When silent films gave way to talkies, she made an insecure debut in the new medium in "Peacock Alley" (1930), a remake of her earlier 1921 version "Peacock Alley". In 1931, she was cast with newcomer Irene Dunne, leading man Lowell Sherman, and fellow silent screen star Norman Kerry in the talkie "Bachelor Apartment". The film was critically panned at the time of release and Murray made only one more film, "High Stakes" (1931), also with Sherman.
