LYRIC THEATREThe romantic aspect of America's most famous familv feud. Chat raged for generations between the Hatfields and McCoys, provides the theme for Samuel Goldwyn's new motion picture “Roseanna McCoy,” name of the ill-fated heroine of the tribal war. Based on Alberta HannurVs novel of the same name, and adapted to the screen by John Collier, the Goldwyn version of the story is the screen's first attempt to treat seriously this dramatic chapter of our national history without the usual hillbilly distortions.To piay the heroine Roseanna, the producer selected young Joan Evans, the daughter of New York playwright Dale Eunson and writer Katherine Albert. Young Joan’s previous dramatic experience was limited to a small part in her father’s play, “Guest in the House,” when she was eight years old. But after a series of exhausting screen tests Goldwyn not only gave her the starring role but signed her to a long-term contract. Johnse Hatfield, whose love for Roseanna precipitated the celebrated feud, is played by Farley Granger.co lt;n t— t-h ^ co in lt;m£ co U coh ’ .a Pw ~ iq ^ ^ c/3 o O
