Night Must Fall edit

Kenwith's obituary in The Los Angeles Times[1] states: "The first theatrical play he produced and directed was “Night Must Fall” starring Dame May Whitty."

However, Kenwith would have been barely 18 years old at the time of the 1935 London production with Whitty. The New York-based production followed only a year later, and the film was 1937. Contrast this with him being "Broadway's youngest producer" more than a decade later in 1948. It seems unlikely he would have been involved in leading these pre-WWII stagings.

Accordingly, I have not included this fact in the article pending further confirmation. Woodshed (talk) 16:51, 29 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
