It looked to me more like a make-up job to make him closely resemble William Jennings Bryan, the real life person on whom March's character was based on. Check out the photograph of Bryan with Clarence Darrow (who was the defending lawyer in the case) in Scopes Monkey Trial entry in wikipedia.org and see for yourself.
