And in fact 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 notable members of this cast were [[Humphrey Bogart]] and [[Arline Francis]].

Henry's appearance in ''I Love You Wednesday'' proves that he could not have been in the Broadway run of ''Carry Nation'' as that started 29 Oct at the Biltmore and ended in November after 30 performances.  However Jimmy Stewart was in this play so he must have been living in New York City at that time.

Henry's appearance in ''I Love You Wednesday'' proves that he could not have been in the Broadway run of ''Carry Nation'' as that started 29 Oct at the Biltmore and ended in November after 30 performances.  However Jimmy Stewart was in this play, evidently his Broadway debut, so he must have been living in New York City at that time.
  
 
Henry Fonda then had a role in the Broadway play ''Forsaking All Others'' which opened 1 Mar 1933, and reportedly also this year in ''All Good Americans''.  Finally, a 5 Dec 1933 article in the ''New York Times'' mentions that he is rehearsing in the play ''Love Story'', but it's not clear that he actually appeared.
