Historic "Dixie Hall” VELYn HOPE DRniELS MIN STREET Franklin, N.C. “TAP ROOTS" Some of the finest acting tfilents in the history of Holljnh'ood have been united to make ”Tap Roots“ the Universal-Inter national release produced by Vlalter Wan- ger in Teclmicolor, coming Jul;; 15-16 to the Galax Iheatre screen, an intensely moving as well as turbulently exciting adaptation of James Street’s best-selling novel. Tne stars of this unusual tple of a re bellion of one county in Mississippi against the Confederacy are Van Heflin and Susan Hayward. The si’pporbing cast includes such acomplished thespians as Boris Karloff, Ward Bond and Arthur Shields. Tile beautiful Mss Hayward, who looks radiant in the exquisite color photo graphy, proves her versatility in a role that is vastly different from her recent poignant r)ortray£il of the alcoholic hero ine of ’’I'll Cry Tomorrow,*' In ”Tap Roots” she is, at the outset, an ultra feminine Southern belle, hut the hrrd realities of war force her to strip off the ladylike veneer and demonstrate that she is a spirited and courageous lass capable of heroic service in the hopeless cause led by her father. Van Heflin has a role that enables him again to prove, as he has so often before done on both screen and stage, that ho is distinctly not a one-note actor. He plan's a complex character, a newspeper editor who is better known for his prow ess with the fair sex and wi.th duelling pistols than for his journalistic talents but who, under the stress of momentous events, reveals that he is actually an al truist, a man of noble purpose willing un selfishly to risk his life for a cause.
