Hume Cronyn made his professional debut at the National Theater in Washington, D.C., in Up Pops the Devil in the spring of 1931 when he was not quite 20-years-old. He went on to become a valued member of director George Abbott’s personal stock company a few years later and made his first appearance on Broadway as a janitor and understudy to Burgess Meredith in the role of Jim Hipper in Hipper’s Holiday in 1934. Once on Broadway he stayed to appear in plays like Boy Meets Girl, Three Men on a Horse, High Tor and Room Service, a play that was optioned by Columbia Pictures. He refused to be screen tested for the role he had created on Broadway, and therefore did not appear in the film version.
