All Over the World

Every wear since the introduction
of Nicks NapoRub, more and more
people have given up the old'fash-
ioncd way of closing" colds and
turned to this modern external
method. Today. the whole trend Of
medical practice is away from need

Mothers of young children cspc-
cially appreciate Nicks because
there's nothing to swallow, and, of
course. nothing TO upset delicate
stomachs. Just rubbed on. its Mcdi-
Gated vapors are released by the
heat Of the body and inhaled direct
to the inf,amcd air-passagcs. At the
same time Nicks acts through the
skin like a poulticc or plaster, "draw
ing out" iightncss and soreness.
Year bv wear, the fame of Nicks
has spread from ncighhor to neigh
hor and from state to state, until
now it is uscd for the colds of adults
as we'll as children i'll over 60 coun.
tries.
The cvcr.srowing demand for this
modern method of treating colds is
shown in the familiar Wick slogan.
Made famous when Nicks reached

raised to "9l Million" these figures
are again being changed, as there

EPIC OF SCREEN
STARTS TONIGHT
AT FOX THEATRE

The picture that Imperial Valley
has been awaiting for weeks opens
three day stay at Fox Imperial
theatre tonight.
1t is "Rio Rita" and according
10 Manager Herb Norris. he has had
norc requests for the dates on which
this picture would play than or any
other since the theatre opened.
Many local residents who have
seen the production on the coast are
lavish in praising it. and give 1t the
highest compliment by declaring
they plan to see it again while it
is here.
"Rio Rita" is an all singing, all
,:ancing, part technicolor screen
opera, with the locale laid On the
romantic borderland between Mexico
and the United States. Particularly
pleasing to movie fans is the fact
that Bcbc Daniels has the leading
feminine role.
For years past she has been Il ia
vorite with picture audiences, but
..w were aware in the old silent
days that she possesses splendid
singing voice, which is heard fer the
:'irst time in "Rio Rita" An affi'
davit filed by Radio Pictures states
that no double was used at any time
for Miss Daniels in the talking and
singing roles.
John Boles. whose voice has de-
lighted thousands, plays opposite
Miss Daniels and they are supported
by a strong east, with an excellent
chorus, backed by the work Of Guy
Bolton, noted stage author, Fred
Thompson, with lyrics by Joe Nc
Carthy. :.
Six distinct song hits are sung in
"Rio Rita" and Is reels are required
for the production.
