+ Dane Clark (February 26, 1912 – September 11, 1998)[1] was an American film actor who was known for playing, as he labeled himself, "Joe Average". Clark was born Bernard Zanville in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Jewish immigrants Samuel and Rose. Samuel was a sporting goods store owner. He graduated from Cornell University and earned a law degree at St. John's University School of Law in Queens, New York. During the Great Depression, he worked as a boxer, baseball player, construction worker, and model. Modeling brought him in contact with people in the arts. He gradually perceived them to be snobbish, with their talk of the "theatah", and "I decided to give it a try myself, just to show them anyone could do it." He progressed from small Broadway parts to larger ones, eventually taking over the role of George from Wallace Ford in the 1937 production of Of Mice and Men. Clark got his big break when he was signed by Warner Bros. in 1943. He worked alongside some of his era's biggest stars, often in war movies such as Action in the North Atlantic (1943), his breakthrough part, opposite Humphrey Bogart, Destination Tokyo (1943) with Cary Grant, and Pride of the Marines (1945) with friend and fellow New Yorker John Garfield. According to Clark, Bogart gave him his stage name. Clark played Peter Chambers in the short-lived radio show Crime and Peter Chambers, a half-hour show that aired from April 6 to September 7, 1954.-WikiPedia Click here to read more about Crime And Peter Chambers

CRIME AND PETER CHAMBERS

As much as I like the program itself, the show's theme music is, for me, by a very wide margin, the greater draw. And try though I did, I was entirely unable to find anything about the composer. Can anyone at your end shed any light?
