Meanwhile, Henry's future wife, socialite Frances (Seymour) Brokaw who had married George Brokaw Jan 1931 was "...living in splendor as Mrs Brokaw, in a mansion with a moat on Fifth Avenue..." (''My Life'', p 36).  What was Henry Fonda doing between Mar 1932 and Sep 1932 ?  I haven't found anything yet.

In Sep 1932, in another play that Sweeney missed, Henry Fonda played the part of Inspector Enderby in ''Michael and Mary'' (see [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=55696065&currentResult=5&src=search&firstvisit=true here]), which must have had a short run as the following month he was appearing on Broadway in ''I Love You Wednesday'' which opened 11 Oct 1932, closing that December after 63 performances.  This must have appeared to Henry as a new high-water mark, he previously having only been in short-runs.  Two other members of this cast were [[Humphrey Bogart]] and [[Arline Francis]].
