PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire County Historical Society Screens 'The Sea Beast' on Wednesday, March 4, at 7 pm.

This special presentation of the first screen adaptation of Herman Melville's epic novel "Moby-Dick" includes an introduction by Professor Richard Matturro.

The iconic 1926 silent film stars John Barrymore and Dolores Costello and was directed by Millard Webb.

The film, despite taking liberties with Melville's source material, was a major commercial success and one of the highest grossing films of 1926.

This is a rare opportunity to see this film on the big screen at the Beacon Cinema in downtown Pittsfield.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. – Emma Wixsom struck out eight of the nine batters she faced in Friday’s opener of the Berkshire Fall Frenzy as the host Force 12-and-under travel softball team beat the Greylock Thunder, 14-0, in three innings.

In its second game in the six-team tournament on Friday evening, the Force beat the East Greenbush, N.Y., Xpress Crushers, 5-3.

Peyton Demary went 3 and two-thirds innings in the circle before giving the ball to Wixsom. Demary struck out eight while allowing two earned runs.

Kotski was a difference maker at the plate, going 2-for-3 with an RBI in a six-hit attack for the Force.
