• Black and White Movie Series “Inherit the Wind.” Nominated for four Academy Awards, the film stars two Hollywood greats, Spencer Tracy and Fredric March, who play opposing lawyers from the famous real life “Scopes Monkey Trial” of 1925. Two sides boldly take a stand in this taut legal battle over the case of Tennessee teacher John Scopes, put on trial for teaching Darwin’s theory of evolution. In what many consider his best role, Spencer Tracy plays the lawyer who defended Scopes and his right to teach a theory that was denied by state law. This film is now fifty years old, but its depiction of a trial that held America in suspense still stirs debate. “Inherit the Wind” will be shown at 7:00 at Cavendish Elementary School on Rte. 131 in Proctorsville. FMI: 226-7187.
