"When [[Margaret Sullavan]] was invited to join the University Players the following summer in Falmouth, she stole his shy Nebraska heart" (''My Story'', p. 36). Margaret's Wikipedia biography [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Sullavan here] states that both Henry and she were in the 1929 "undergraduate musical" ''Close Up''.
