Line 21:

In his early twenties, "...he hitched a ride to Cape Cod with a family friend and soon hooked up with the University Players, a summer stock repertory company in Falmouth, Massachusetts." (''My Life'', p. 35) Rather then just limiting ourselves to "his early twenties" we can pinpoint this exactly to 1928, but no earlier or later.

"When [[Margaret Sullavan]] was invited to join the University Players the following summer in Falmouth, she stole his shy Nebraska heart" (''My Story'', p. 36). Margaret's Wikipedia biography [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sullavan here] states that both Henry and she were in the 1929 "undergraduate musical" ''Close Up''. Since this was presumably while school was in session, it must have been in the Spring of that year. It doesn't seem likely that Henry was performing as a member of the college, so perhaps this play had outside actors as well. Margaret was then invited to join the University Players.

It is also possible that the Wikipedia entry is confused and that Fonda was not in that play, but only met Margaret, as his daughter Jane states, when she joined the summer stock a few months later.

"She appeared as Goldina opposite Fonda in the first production of their second summer stock season in 1929, ''The Devil in the Cheese'', her debut on the professional stage." (Wikipedia, "Margaret Sullavan")
