Newcomb, Brown, and other family members regularly performed together in attic plays during summers at the Newcomb family farm. In 1913, Newcomb mailed a photograph to St. Nicholas magazine, a children's magazine, that made the Roll of Honor.

He later completed a bachelor's degree in journalism at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1923.
