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.

Jane says of this general period, but which I will place exactly here, "For a while he shared a two-room apartment on the West side with Josh Logan, Jimmy Stewart and radio actor Myron McCormick." (''My Life'', p 36) So what I think is that he *may* have been roommates with Stewart starting in the Fall or Winter of 1932, not the just-ended Summer.  Fall was when all the summer stock actors moved back into New York City looking for the big score and living on rice and water.

Henry Fonda then had a role in the Broadway play ''Forsaking All Others'' which opened 1 Mar 1933.  Some sources report that Fonda was also this year in ''All Good Americans'', but the cast list [http://www.ibdb.com/production.php?id=11804 here at the Internet Broadway Database] does not show that.  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.
