My Beafit; ‘HI: Whatever one’s reason for seeing “Downstairs” may be, the picture which opened at the Capitol thea- | tre last night, should please. When he wrote “Downstairs,”| John Gilbert intended to direct Eric von Stroheim in the part he plays himself. His role that of a swaggering Don Juan of a| chauffeur who makes up in au- dacity what he lacks in conscience. With no moral code he spreads his villainies throughout the great cas- tle in which he is employed, makes | love to Virginia Bruce, a maid married to Paul Lukas, the butler, | blackmails Hedda Hopper, the Countess, and finally elopes with | Virginia, financing the escapnde\ with money he has stolen from Bodil Rosing the cook. Of course, like all proper villains, he comes | to a timely end. Others in the fine cast of play- ers who make “Downstairs” an interesting picture to view, include Olga Bechlanova, Lucien Little-| field, Reginald Owen and Marion Lessing The Monte = e e e is MADGE EVANS If you want to escape seasonal colds, to possess a light step and graceful carriage to have a sylph- like figure—swim.
