WOODS HOLE, Mass. (AP) – Fire has destroyed a house in a Massachusetts coastal town where Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart sharpened their acting skills in the 1920s and ’30s.
The house in Woods Hole was used as a practice spot by an up-and-coming theater group known as the University Players.
Their founders were students at Harvard, Princeton and Radcliffe.
In 1928, the group – including Fonda – raised enough money to raise the curtain for their first play.
By the end of their first summer they had grossed $20,000.
Stewart joined the group in 1932.
The Cape Cod Times reports that fire swept through the second floor of the house on Tuesday.
