The unfilled order file at these Stars of today, stars of yester day and eren some who may be stars tomorrow were gathered by Fox Film for "Dante's Inferno" and appear in the scenes of this, one of the most colorful and spec tacular pictures to issue from Hollywood in recent years. Spencer Tracy. Claire Trevor, Henry B. Walthall and Alan Dine har$ are the players who head the featured cast of "Dante's Infer no", now at the Grand theatre. But they represent only four speaking parts, and the picture boasts seventy. Although ."Dante's Inferno" is based on the Immortal "Divine Comedy" of Dante Alighieri, the picture "does not attempt to con fine Its action to the medieval pe riod of the poem. "Dante's Inferno" "uses the startling, fantastic and often beau tiful picturization of millions of sinners in eternal torment to point the moral of a modern story, the story of a man who had climbed to fame and wealth over the backs of others and who had finally to suffer penance for his crimes. Begun early in 1934. "Dante's inferno" has taken up the efforts of several thousands of Holly wood's finest technical experts and artists in its transference to the screen. Bright Eyes" Pest Loveable in "Ginger" Jane Withers, the kid who im itated a machine gun. told tales on Shirley Temple, tried to run her down with a doll carriage and proved herself a complete annoy ance in "Bright Eyes", has the title role in Fox Film's latest com edy success, "Ginger." which opens today at the Hollywood theatre. Little Miss Withers sets a new style in comedy entertainment in "Ginger," which kept Hollywood and New York preview audiences in continual guffaws and caused the prediction that the film is a great beginning for what looks like a great career. Little Jane registers a million dollars worth of personality and talent in her new picture and Hol lywood theatre audiences are as sured that they will love her as much in this story as they hated her In "Bright Eyes." When Jane, the little, independ ent, self-reliant product of Ninth avenue, is taken into the "Park avenue home of the pampered Jackie Searl, there's a swell clash with a world of comedy. O. P. Heggie gives an outstanding per formance as Jane's foster-uncle. George Raft Star of "Glass Key" at State George Raft is the star of Dash- iell Hammett's "The Glass Key" which comes today to the State theatre. This enthralling murder mystery by the author of "The Thin Man" presents the popular star as as hard-fisted battler yho defies the lordlings of the under world to aid his friends. It is the first time Raft has played a role of this type since his triumph in "Scarf ace." In the well-rounded supporting cast of "The Glass Key", are Ed ward Arnold, Claire Dodd, Rosa lind Culli, Ray Milland and Guinn Williams. The story revolves Edward Ar nold, the shrewd but honest po litical boss of a big city. When the son of the man whom he supports for senate is murdered, Arnold's underworld enemies attempt to pin the crime on him. Raft, who is Arnold's trusted aide, pretends to join his enemies in the fight on the big boss. But he is trapped by them, held pris oner and subjected to torture, without learning the secret of the murder. It is only in the gripping cli matic scenes that Raft stumbles on the solution and pins the crime on the man who could be least suspected.
