The MALE STAFF will be working specifically in a Household or for an Individual or Institution directly and exclusively. Butler or Chauffeur / Valet or Gardener / Caretaker or Secretary / Servant or Tutor / Stableman or Estate Manager.

I was surprised to read that Robert Greig butler and valet in numerous films was born down here in Melbourne my town of birth in OZ. A much sort after working staff character he appeared in more than 100 films between 1930 and 1949. He adds a great comic touch in Trouble in Paradise (1932) - Jacques, Mariette's butler   |

 Arthur Treacher portrayed P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves in two movies Thank You, Jeeves! 1936, with David Niven as Bertie Wooster, and Step Lively, Jeeves! 1937, without any Bertie.  Couldn't find any good pictures. If Arthur Treacher sounds familiar, well i played the friendly Constable in Mary Poppins 1964. |
