DARROW MAKES
FILM DEFENSE
OF EVOLUTION

NEW YORK, April Is. U.R)-Clar-
ence Darrow, vigorous foe of fund
amentalism, has nearly completed
filming of THE Mystery OF Life,
upholding the theory of evolution
for which he fought in Dayton,
Tenn. several years ago.
Completion of the film by Uni
versal Motion Pictures, Inc, is a
dream he has cherished for years,
Darrow admitted today. 1t is an
eight reel picture in which he takes
the role of proponent Of evolution
and in which he hopes to destroy
the theory of the fundamentaliSts.
The premiere of the film may be
held in Dayton, officials intimated.
1t was there Darrow battled with
William Jennings Bryan in defense
of an obscure school teacher named
John Scopes, who violated the Ten
nesSee law by teaching evolution.
Scopes was convicted and funda-
mentals won a technical victory.
Darrow has collaborated with
DR.. H. M. Parshley. professor of
zoology at Smith College, in making
the film. Darrow said the film
traced the rise of man from Amoe-
ba of the primeval days to the pres
ent. He and Parshley are the
principal actors.
