GRAND THEATRE
TO-NIGHT While no one has as yet written a book on "The Fine Art of Sponging," Edward Everett Horton feels that he is qualified to do so. The "sponging" is pot the kind used in tailor shops, but refers to the practic'e of grafting free rides, meals"and entertainment from one's friends, and Horton's latest film role portrays him as the leader of a group of just such human parasites. "Six Cylinder Love" is the picture, a comedy of newlyweds and their troubles after a crew of spongers descend upon them. The offering, with Spencer Tracy and Sidney Fox sharing the leading honours with Horton, is now showing at the Grand Theatre, and a brilliant supporting cast includes William Collier, sen., E1 Brendel, Una Merkel, Ruth Warren, Lorin Raker, Bert Roach and William Holden. Thornton Freeland, director of "Three Live Ghosts," and "Whoopee," wielcled the baton over this production.
