JANE WlIIITlHERS
 PICTURE SEEN AT COLISEUM
Wild and Woolly' Is West ern Comedy with
 Large KidCast

Pesumng its career in motion pic ures where it left off upon re- tircment from active railroad ser vice, Iron Nell" the oldest locomo- tive now available for actual opera . ticn. was secured for use in the Twentieth Century-Fox Jane With CTS comedy, Wild and Woolly. ' which opened yesterday at the Coli scum Theatre.
 Looking today like a working model of bad dream, Iron Nell appeared as laundering giant or wheels to the Western pioneers oi 1878, when it sometimes exceeded the fabulous speed of twenty miles an hour as it snorted and puffed its way across the plains.
 Iron Nell" is expected to take its place in screen history as the suc- cessor to the locomotive used in the silent-day epic, The Iron Horse, which now reposes in antique splen- dor in Sacramento museum.
 Wild and Woolly' provides Jane Withers with new background fol her distinctive style of comedy. Wal ter Brennan, Academy Award win ner, is featured. l M 4
 Others in the cast include Wal ter Brennan, Pauline Moore, Doug las Fowley, Carl Alfalfa" Switzer Jack Searl, Berton Churchill, Ro- bert Wilcox and Douglas Scott.

makes a fine one for small babies because it's light in color, and can be laid on the floor for surface, and then stretched right up in the back to form a continuous back ground. Tack it to the vail, or throw it over a chair, says the photographer,
 Pay particular attention to back grounds outdoors, she advises It's difficult to photograph chil- dren against a background of gay flowers, because the flowers reflect splotches of light which distract from the subject. A bit of shaded shrubbery makes better back ground
 And when it comes to sun and shade, remember that a concrete pavement or light-colored wall reflects enough light so the child need not face the sun.
 In fact reflected light is softer than glaring sunlight and elimi- mates deep shadows.
 Above all, don't interrupt a child's routine to photograph him. Mrs Nichols observes rigidly the feeding and sleeping schedule of children in her care.
 If you try to delay childs nap to take a picture, she says, he'll only be cross. And he'll look it.

NEW COMEDY TEAM SEEN
 AT CAPITOL
Edna May Oliver, Frank Frank Morgan Provide
 Laughs in Paradise

An enthusiastic audience at the Capitol Theatre yesterday enjoyed Paradise for Three" Nearly every poor man would like to enjoy the life of a millionaire for two weeks, and every rich man would like to go back to the simple pleasures at least for the same time.
 And that's just what Frank Nor gan, Robert Young and Reginald Owen do in this escapade of the Alps. Morgan turns poor while the other two actors become rich and powerful.
 Their plan works until Morgan s daughter, Florence Rice. his house. keeper, Edna May Oliver, and his girl friend,' Mary Astor, find out about it.
 But in the meantime Morgan, who has won a contest and has been given two weeks vacation at a swank Alpine resort, appears to be a poor man and therefore is treated badly by the management. Only one man is kind to him, and he is Henry Hull, the dishwasher.
 When Morgan's family makes him return to his normal life as the wealthy capitalist, he orders the hotel manager and porter to his office, explains that he was actu- ally staying at his own hotel, re- minds them of their treatment toward him and makes the dish washer their boss.

This living in the Arctic Circle isn't the tough job it once was, with coal now available at a paltry $100 a ton, and flour a mere SIP a hundredweight.

"Knickerbocker Holiday '' Name of Show Intimate
 View Given Back Stage
By GEORGE TUCKER

Dy QEOROE IOOhEh
 NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Rehearsal shot: time, 2.45 pm; place, Ethel Barrymore Theatre, 47th Street; characters, Maxwell Anderson, au- thor; Kurt Weill, composer: Wal ter Huston, star; Joshua Logan, director; Jeane Madden, ingenue; Richard Kollmer, juvenile; incl dental people, noises. etc.
 The title of the play is "Knicker- booker Holiday based on early Dutch New York. Maxwell Ander- son, his moustache faded by long summer in the sun, is sitting in an orchestra seat up near the stage. He is garbed in inevitable, loosely fitting tweeds. With him is Kurt Veil, who wrote the music for the play. "Knickerbocker Holiday" is not exactly an operetta, and yet it is something more than a play with music. You'll have to decide for yourself.
 There is a gibbet on the stage a group of the townsmen are gath cred about it gleefulIy making laws. Joshua Logan, the director, is a young man who kicked around the Broadway theatre more or less an- for several years and then leaped into prominence over night. Last year he directed On Borrowed Time" a great hit, and this year he directed T Married an Angel reigning musical triumph on Broadway.
 Off to one side sits .Jeane Mad den, a pretty little blonde, whose part in the play will be that of Tina Dick Kollmer, a Yale grad uate, pleads with her. While he is pleading, Tina" the director halts the action and turns to Anderson T think it would be better if we put an extra Tina in there and called her name twice, like, this Tina. Tina'-if it's okay with you"
 Sure" agrees Maxwell Ander- son amiably, "go ahead Thus is a line of "Knickerbocker Holiday" amplified. Anderson is easy to work with. This action gives the lie to the belief that creative artists are touchy prima donnas who re- fuse to have their brain children tempered with.
 Miss Madden, clad fetchingly in a yellow sweater and plaid skirt, is sitting with her knee buckled under her, waiting her cue. MT, Kollmer, the juvenile, has lot of business to perform and he misses some of 1t. He forgets a line or so Finally the director shouts, but pleasantly: How did you get through. Yale if you cant remember four word sentence?"
 Meanwhile, a nattily garbed fig ure saunters in. looking better than have ever seen him. This is Wal ter Huston, who will play the part of Peter Stuyvesant in the play. He isn't supposed to do much re- hearsing today. and he plops down next to Anderson and Weill. They talk in low tones. Kollmer gets his lines straightened out and calls Tina" Meanwhile, Miss Madden has been sitting in one position so long that her legs have gone to sleep. At her cue she leaps up and almost falls. She stamps prettily to restore circulation, and then goes on.
 All this seems of minor impor- .ance, but it isn't. It is an integral part of vast and costly produc- ion which may make a lot of

NEW YORK = Blond children should be photographed against a dark background.
 Small babies should be photo graphed dressed, because tiny baby hasn't beautiful body.

Don't stand a child up with it's back to the street, so that uncon- scious pedestrians across the way sneak into the picture, and in the finished product appear to be walking on top of your child s head
 Dos and dont's like these for photographing children are of end less interest to Mrs Ruth Alexander Nichols, nationally-known photogra pher of children. She's taken an infinite number of professional pie lures of tiny babies, not-so-tiny babies, and children of all sizes.

 In fact, her ability as a baby pacifier is so widespread that often her friends leave their offspring with her for an afternoon, even when picture taking isn't planned
 But Mrs. Nichols can't stay away from the camera long, so she's soon as work practicing new shooting angles on the children while they play.
 She thinks amateurs could do a lot of thinking about angles, too. Most of Mrs. Nichols shots are made from the top of step-ladder with the camera occupying the paint buckets face, She suggests the same arrangement for amateurs.
 If you climb a .step-ladder, you can get a good shot of baby who's lying on his back, she says. If he's lying on his stomach, take him from above, but shoot toward his face. Children who are playing on the floor MUST be photographed from above, else one gets in the others way. -
