Henry Fonda co-starred with [[Imogene Coca]] in ''New Faces of 1934''. This was the first of [[Leonard Sillman]]'s annual revues, each called ''New Faces''. See the mention [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=38771701¤tResult=2&src=search&firstvisit=true here].

Libby you will recall was the torch-singer who married a wealthy man who died such an interesting death that Libby went on trial for it. | Henry Fonda co-starred with [[Imogene Coca]] in ''New Faces of 1934''.
