University Players. This was a group founded by Bretaigne Windust and Charles Leatherbee in 1928 as the University Players Guild. Productions, mostly revivals, were given each summer through 1932 at Falmouth, Massachusetts. In its last year the company changed its name to the Theatre Unit, Inc., and after a season at Falmouth played briefly in Baltimore. Among its many young figures who afterwards became famous were Henry Fonda, Joshua Logan, Myron McCormick, Mildred Natwick, Kent Smith, James Stewart, and Margaret Sullavan. Norris Houghton later wrote the history of the company in But Not Forgotten.
