Later tonight I'll check to see if I recognize him. I'm big on movies of that era, so most of the time can identify supporting actors, as studios tended to cast the same ones frequently.
He plays Dr. Waldman in this movie. Also, perhaps most famously, Professor Van Helsing in Dracula.
Being on camera as himself in the intro, with no character makeup or glasses, and with his own regular hairstyle, and such bright stage uplighting on his face, results in him looking nearly unrecognizable to viewers of today. It's Van Sloan though.

At what point of the beginning? Very, very beginning, as in very first man who appears on screen?

It's great character actor Edward Van Sloan.
Here's the clip.

I thought that might have been him, but he seemed younger with rounder eyes.
