Evelyn Ebersis Young (November 17, 1915 – February 14, 1983) was an American film actress. In 1940, at the height of her career, she appeared in 9 feature films. She was the leading female actress in The Wildcat of Tucson[2][3][4] and Prairie Schooners,[5][4][6] playing alongside Wild Bill Elliott and Dub Taylor in a Wild Bill Hickok series.
Young is familiar to fans of The Three Stooges as the wife of jealous drill sergeant Richard Fiske in the film Boobs in Arms.[7] Young appeared in five films with the Stooges.

was invoked but never defined (see the help page).Finding where Brown is hiding, Elliott and Brown's sweetheart, Evelyn Young, ride to convince him to turn himself in. Brown refuses, accusing Elliott of wanting him in jail so that Elliott can romance Young. In truth, Young fleetingly has romantic designs on Elliott, but Elliott isn't interested. [...] An interesting subplot has heroine Evelyn Young momentarily switching her affection from Stanley Brown to his brother, Eliott.
Evelyn Young (Vivian Barlow) [...] When Bill rides to his brother's hideout accompanied by Vivian Barlow, the judge's daughter with whom Dave is in love, Dave becomes jealous and orders his brother to leave.
Rancher Evelyn Young gives the farmers money to pay their debts on all supplies. [...] The attack is called off when Young is kidnapped. Elliott follows and is captured also. Harlan tells Elliott that Young will be released only if the farmers return to Kansas. [...] The chemistry between Elliott and leading lady Evelyn Young is right on target. (Just look at the way Young touches Elliott's arm as he rides to talk with Kenneth Harlan, and the way she looks at him when the wagon train rolls through Lone Pine.)
Elliott, the "Peaceable Man," does his usual competent job as Hickok, but Dub Taylor's "Cannonball" character is slightly grating and Evelyn Young, late of the Three Stooges two-reelers, makes a rather pallid heroine.
Bill Elliott is featured as the two-fisted star of the story and lovely Evelyn Young supplies the romantic interest.
