Inherit the Wind (1960)
First seen at [00:19:50], and later clearly seen at [01:15:26], Fredric March holds a paper fan advertising "Compliments Masons Funeral Parlor". While many other townspeople, court observers and jurists, carry similar fans, it is noteworthy that March clearly displays the advertisement in several key scenes since his character, who dies at the films end, is a thinly-veiled depiction of William Jennings Bryan, who was a freemason and who died shortly after the trial. Or it could be unrelated.
