Barrie's "A Kiss for Cinderella" which ran from April 28 through May 3, 1930. Mr. Fonda is at center, Ms. McGuire on the right standing on a chair, and actor George McIntyre is on the left.

Henry Fonda debuted on the Omaha Community Playhouse stage in 1925, when his neighbor, Dorothy Brando (mother of Marlon Brando, Jr., the famous actor) needed a young man to fill a role in one of the productions in the community theater she had started. Mr. Fonda returned to Omaha in 1930 specifically to appear in "A Kiss for Cinderella" for which he also designed all the sets.
