"Hix nix stix pix" was a famous headline in America's Variety Magazine some 60 or 70 years ago basically expressed the view that people who lived in small towns were disinterested in visiting the cinema.

"Hix nix stix pix" = hicks nix sticks pics.
Hicks = slang name for unsophicated people.
Nix = say "No" to something.
Sticks = slang for small towns or country places.
Pics = motion pictures.
