VAN JOHNSON IS
IN FINEST ROLE
AT 20TH CENTURY

citement-packed story of the after
feuds between Yankee and Rebel
factions after the Civil War moke
for big entertainment in "Romance
of Rosy Ridge." which opened yes
terday on the screen at Gross 20th

Van Johnson has a totally new
type of characterization in this
Mackinley Karrtor story of a young
school teacher whose buddy dies
while fighting with him in the
Union Army, and who goes to the
latter’s Rebel family in Missouri
and falls in love with his buddy's
sister.
The conflict ensues when Oil
McBean (Thomas Mitchell, father

fought on the Union side. Despite
the fact that Carson has helped
him save his crops from a raging
storm and has joined him in his
fight against mysterious night raid
ers who have been pillaging and
burning the farmers' barns, the
hardened Rebel cannot tolerate the
thought of his daughter, Lissy Anne,
falling in love with the Yankee
stranger. It is in the picture's thrill
ing climactic scene in which Mc
Bean attempts to kill Carson that
the conflict is resolved and Car
son’s true position made clear.
