Horne's first talkie for Roach was "Whispering Whoopie" with Charley Chase in 1930; he directed more than 30 sound shorts for Roach, including Laurel & Hardy's "Chickens Come Home" and the 4-reel "Beau Hunks" in which, not being able to find an actor to play an Arabian Riff, played the part himself. While Hal Roach had other directors working on the English language versions of Stan and Ollie's films he preferred Janes to work on the German, French and Spanish versions. Horne left the Roach Studios in 1932 but returned in 1935 to direct their last short "Thicker Than Water" and was an uncredited writer and the credited director of Laurel & Hardy's features "Bonnie Scotland," "The Bohemian Girl" and "Way Out West."
