A newspaper article dated 13 Jul 1930 puts a maximal date on when Henry married Margaret as it states : "Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan, married and divorced, are going together again...." And again an announcement on 9 Jul 1930 of a new film ''Reno in the Fall'' co-starring Henry Fonda opposite Margaret Sullavan, calls him her "ex-husband". It appears likely, from silence, that this film was never made. | A newspaper article dated 13 Jul 1930 puts a maximal date on when Henry married Margaret as it states : "Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan, married and divorced, are going together again...."

| + | Arrrrrrghhhh! I hate it when this happens. [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=22968994¤tResult=1&src=search Here] on NewspaperArchive.com we see a page from the ''Syracuse Herald'' (Syracuse, New York), and newspaper archive has it indexed at 9 Jul 1930, page 31. This is '''one''' of the pages I was using to prove that Henry and Margaret had married earlier than supposed. OK. Now, the first thing I notice is that the image of this page actually says "Page Sixteen". The date on the page is blurred '''just enough''' that it could be 1930 or 1936. I'm starting to get a bad feeling here. Slowly flipping back I notice something odd. Every other even page appears to say 1930, but every odd page appears to say 1936. Gah! Smacks forehead, they've merged two different sets of pages into one run. | ||
Henry played the Prince in ''Cinderella'' in Nov 1930 opposite Suzanne Pollard (stage name "Shirley Horton"), daughter of the Governor of Virginia (see [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=50005553¤tResult=3&src=search&firstvisit=true here]). The Wikipedia biography of Jimmy Stewart [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stewart_(actor) here] citing Houghton (1951) and also Eliot (2006) states that Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan did (re)marry on Christmas Day 1931, but by the following Summer of 1932 this second (re-)marriage had also ended. Her Wikipedia biography states that they married in Baltimore, Maryland. I've now found a contemporary announcement that they did marry on Christmas Day, 1931, the place not specified. | Henry played the Prince in ''Cinderella'' in Nov 1930 opposite Suzanne Pollard (stage name "Shirley Horton"), daughter of the Governor of Virginia (see [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=50005553¤tResult=3&src=search&firstvisit=true here]).
