He also wrote sketches for three editions of "The Ziegfeld Follies." McEvoy was known for his versatility. Besides novels, plays and poetry, he wrote radio and television scripts and the story line of the comic strip, "Dixie Dugan." McEvoy's first writing job was as sports editor and writer for; the South Bend, News while he was an undergraduate at Notre Dame. Private services will be conducted in New City.

There he did a feature called "The Patters," which was made into a play. That was his introduction to New York.
