===1927-1930===

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 most likely pinpoint this exactly to either 1927 or 1928, but no earlier or later.

"The following year" he met and fell in love with fellow-actress [[Margaret Sullavan]]. Her Wikipedia biography [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sullavan here] states that both her and Henry 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 they had outside actors as well. She was then invited to join the University Players.
