In 1951 he joined Djamaluddin Malik's Persari as a director, completing thirteen films for the company before it closed in 1958.

Every time the troupe arrived in a new city, he and the Dardanella side would play an exhibition game to draw potential audiences.

[2] In 1936, while producing a film adaptation of Andjar Asmara's play Dr Samsi in India, the company dissolved.

[4] After Dardanella's dissolution, Urip made his way back to the Indies and joined Asmara's new troupe Bolero, with whom he stayed until 1937, when he migrated to Fifi Young's Pagoda, under Njoo Cheong Seng.

When the latter company closed in mid-1941, Urip returned to JIF and served as assistant director to Asmara on Noesa Penida and Ratna Moetoe Manikam.

[3][2] Urip returned to Indonesia in 1953 and continued to work for Persari, first as general manager[2] and later as a director, until the company closed in 1958.

Afterwards he became a freelance director and, as the film industry imploded, returned to theatre with the Gema Mas Troupe after completing Asmara dan Wanita (1961).
