As a fluttering feather-brain with jittery hands, ZaSu gives another of her laugh- provoking ' performances, and Slim Summerville hands out more than his custom: quota of chuckles— all of this being mingled witk tense drama. The story is of a vaudeville troupe that is hired to perform a fake seance in the home of & wealthy wo.man who is trying to| gommunicate with the spirit of | her dead husband. When the regu- | lar clairvoyant of the troupe quits her job, ZaSu Pitts steps hope- lessly into the breach, but fills the role in a most surprising manner.

She goes into a genuine trance and di- | vulges information that exposes a murder plot and brings the cul- prits to justice. “Their Big Moment” was adapted to. the screen from “Afterwards,” Walter Hackett's play which has | created a sensation in London. All in all, “Their Big Moment" is fine screen entertainment and should have strong appeal for movie-goers of all ages and classes, 9 BRITISHERS | DIEIN CRASH MESSINA, Sicilly, Feb. 15.—Nine British officers and men are re- ported to have been killed in the crash of a seaplane enroute Naples to Malta.
