Henry Cronjager Jr (1906-1991) was an American cinematographer who worked both in the film and television industries from the 1930s until the 1970s. He was the son of Henry Cronjager, brother to Edward Cronjager, and father to William Cronjager, all also cinematographers. Due to the similarity in names with his father, there is some confusion as to exactly when the senior Cronjager's career ended, and the younger one's began. Both were active during the 1930s, however the American Film Institute's entry for Henry Cronjager conflates the careers of the two cinematographers,[1] while Imdb.com as the senior's career ending in 1933.[2][3] The first reliable source wherein it shows that Cronjager Jr. was the cameraman and not his father is a Walter Winchell column from February 26, 1937, which shows that Cronjager Jr. was a cameraman on the film Wake Up and Live, for which his brother Edward was the cinematographer.[4][5]
