ALL STORES TO
BE- CLOSED ON
JULY FOURTH

All Ell Centro stores will be closed
on Saturday, July 4, according to
statement made today by Howard
P. Meyer, chairman of the mercan-
tile trade relations committee of the
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce.
There are rumors reaching the El
Centre chamber" states Meyer,
that because July falls on Sat-
urday this year the retail stores OF
the city are not going to close. In
dependence Day has always been
observed by all business houses OF
this city, regardless of the day of
the week on which it falls, and will
be generally observed holiday this
year. Not only have the retail mer-
chants of Ell Centro designated this
holiday for all day closing, but the
committee of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce of Imperial
County, which met to decide on
closing dates throughout the valley,
has included July 4 in the list of
valley-wide holidays"
Falling as it does on Saturday,
the closing of retail stores and all
business houses of the city will give
the residents of the community a
two-day holiday, an event which is
looked forward to throughout the
valley as it permits mountain trips,
fishing trips and visits which can
not be planned for shorter period
President Whitelaw, of the Ell Cen
tro chamber, stated today that all
persons leaving the valley for this
holiday should make it a point to
do any shopping and necessary lay
ing in of provisions for the two days
before leaving Ell Centre. I'VE owe
it to our merchants" said White
law, ito do our buying at home,
and if purchases were made before
leaving and after returning, the
retail stores could observe holidays
without experiencing the drop in
sales which might otherwice affect
the total of the entire months busi-
ness"

COLISEUM HAS COLLEEN MOORE
 IN COLOR REVUE
F o o High ts and Fools Gives Star Wide Scope
 to Display Talents

'Footlights and Fools" Colleen Moore dialogue picture in Techni- color, will be shown tonight at the Coliseum theatre.
 This Vitaphone special offers the popular little star a wide scope for her talent in characterization, for her role includes many variations. She appears as supposedly exot- ic French actress, with an intrigu- ing Parisian accent, in part of the story; impersonates a slangy Broad way chorus-girl in another episode of the plot, and plays the greater part of her characterization in her own personality.
 Not All Back Stage
 Although "Footlights and Fools" recounts the humorous and dra- matic adventures of a Broadway revue star, it is not solely a story of back-stage life. Miss Moore's two leading men, Raymond Hack ett and Frederic March, do not por- tray theatrical characters, and the plot is built around a three sided romance, with the eventual winner of Colleen's heart and hand not being disclosed until the final mo- ments of the picture.
 Technicolor has been employed to enhance the beauty of several stage numbers, in which Colleen is supported by huge ensemble of 72 brilliantly costumed show girls and dancers.
 Miss Moore Sings
 It is in these color episodes that the songs, If I Can't Have You, "You Can't Believe My Naughty Eyes" and "Pilly Pom Pom Plee, are introduced. all of which are sung by Miss Moore.
 In addition to H ckett and March, the supporting cast ol "Footlights and Fools" presents Vir- ginia Lee Corbin, Edward Martin del, Adrienne d'Ambricourt, Mickey Bennett, Cleve Moore, Andy Rice Jr., Frederic Howard and Sidney Jarvis in other important portray als. John Mccormick produced this First National and Vitaphone pic ture, which William A. Setter dt- rected from Carey Wilson's scenario

She proceeded to Dixon Entrance. and then voyaged leisurely across the Gulf of Alaska. She called at Cordova and Seward. She con- tinued to Kodiak. Leaving there May 1, she cruised along the Aleu- tians to Unalaska. staying there while, and then resuming her course until she reached Attu.
 In going to the Westward the Tallapoosa kept watch over waters through which the fur seal herd makes it's pilgrimage every year to the Prlbilof Islands. The vessel noted but comparatively few of the migratory sea animals
 The ship responded to several distress signals, but in every ln- stance the needed help was ob- tained before her services could be made available.
 On the outwara voyage, the Tal- lapoosa stopped at all the larger villages and many Of the smaller communities. On the homeward trip pert calls were not so numer- GUS, but visits we're repeated | { places where Commander Dench wished to learn the effects of judi eial decisions he had made or where Doctor Hand wanted to ob- serve the progress of patients he had treated on the westward jour- ney.

The story takes a family in a small American town through three generations. Their joys and sor- rows, their comedies and tragedies, are made into what is literally a cross section of actual life.
 Mann plays the head of the fam fly as an old German barber; his children grow up to be doctors, teachers. in ventors, and finally leave him to have their own chill dren and live their own lives. It is story every father knows.
