Aural Route Count Shows Mail Receipts Below Those Of Enumeration Last Year Richmond rural mail route receipts for the month of July, 1919, fell somewhat below thoso of July, 1918, but a notable increase in the weight of mails and the number of packages has been estimated by the postoffice department through which a count was made this week.

FOUR BIG ACT8 PRESENTED ON MURRAY THEATRE BILL Four big acta constitute the Murray theatre vaudeville program for the latter part of the week. The trained seals who do some remarkably clever "stunts" and are popular with everybody from kids to grown-ups, are here for the last time today, and that news alone will probably be sufficient to pack the theatre for both performances. Francis and Hume, who present a clever 6inglng and dancing act, go over big. Miss Francis is a Richmond girl and draws big audiences at every appearance here. Woods, Young and Phillips are a comedy trio, each of whom have talent and a way of making the audience like them. Chester and Elota, acrobats, have an unusual act that is a great success. The Theatres MURRETTE Circus day in Springfield, III., Is Indirectly responsible for Charles Ray being a screen favorite today. His father had intended a business career for him but then came the circus and Charles, with several other boys, carried a bucket of water to the elephant of a pass. Thus vanished into thin air all aspirations for a commercial life. He followed his father's wishes, completing his schooling In the Los Angeles Polytechnic school, but the 3 inspiration of the sawdust ring stil stirred his soul and he was wont t hang around local theatres. He grad uated as program boy, water boy and usher and finally landed on the stage as a "super." . After successfully portraying minor parts, he took several fliers at the road, but his stage career came to a sudden close when the Metropolitan Combined Musical and Dramatic aggregation closed unexpectedly In San Something or Other. His latest picture "Hay Foot, Straw Foot" will be seen at the Murrette theatre for two days commencing today. This is a charming photoplay and Doris Lee is his leading woman. MURRAY. "What do you consider the best education for the stage?" was asked of Miss Madlaine Traverse, the motion picture star; and this Is what 6he replied: " "Educated for the stage is a phrase that always rouses the .scorn of the old-time actor, who believes acting is the sort of thing that one can learn to do only by doing it. "My opinion in the matter, of course, is colored by my own experience. I have been on the stage ever since I was in short dresses and I feel that my education has been none too long for the emotional work I am now called on to do. "Many women believe that dramatic schooling is essential. Be that as it may, I maintain that those who have the strongest call for the stage go on early because they can't possibly stay off: and such people must get their education lor the stage, as well as their general education, as they go along. "Youth is pliable. Youth is most apt to learn technique; and when a woman reaches the age where emotions are riper and more worth portraying, she Is a more finished actress it she got her technique early and so

Isn't hampered In making her acting express what she feels." Miss Traverse was familiar with the 6tage at six and played Camllle at 15. She is to appear at the Murray Theatre today in the new William Fox picture "Rose of the West." WASHINGTON. In Constance Talmadge's latest Select Picture, "Happiness a la Mode," in which she is presented by Lewis J. Selrnick at the Washington Theatre today and tomorrow, the star portrays a young wife with an unfaithful husband, who succumbs to the wiles of another woman and asks his little wlfey for a divorce.

vorce and Is allowed three months In which to file her final decree. Wifey was Just clever enough to realize that the way to win back her man was to trade with her rival. The other woman was now the promised wife and she was now the "outside" girl, the romantic sweetheart. Her plan worked, and during the three months which were to elapse before the final decree was to be filed, exactly what she wanted, but she continued to refuse to resume her former status as his wife. Her plans are brought to a fruitful conclusion when she invites him to dinner and pretends to fall ill after the meal. He takes her home and
