(Syndicated, 1952 - 1953) [The series made use of much stock footage for background, and consequently changed locale from Africa to India... It was scored in part by the MUTEL music service which revised, re-recorded and recycled cues originally written for serials and B-pictures composed by Herschel Burke Gilbert, Joseph Mullendore and Herb Taylor, among others... For the End Title and for the Main Title of the "Indian Arc", music supplied by Irving Gertz was used which he had written originally for a series of Religious short films and other morality plays from 1949 - 1953; The following theme and composer credits were assembled from information from TV theme contributor T. Perrone, CD producer/researcher P. Mandell and author of the book "Children's Television, 1947 - 1990" which credits serials "Commander Cody" and "Jungle Drums of Africa" as the source of many "Ramar" cues and themes, which also turned up being used in other TV shows scored by MUTEL including "The Adventures of Superman"...additional info from Email with contributor D. Schecter who spoke with composer Irving Gertz about his music for "Ramar"]

[Contributor T. Perrone says this middle of this cue was edited out to provide the Opening Main title for "Ramar"; It can be heard in a slightly different version on the CD co-produced by P. Mandell below since it was also tracked into the episode scores used for "Superman"; It is thought that Joseph ("Joe") Mullendore was probably a co-writer of this cue also.] Composers: Herschel Burke Gilbert (ASCAP), and Joseph ("Joe") Mullendore (ASCAP/BMI) 1978 Publisher: John Paul Music (ASCAP) 2000 Publisher: John Paul Music (ASCAP) of Los Angeles, CA Copyright Date: Renewal Date: Recordings: CD: "Adventures of Superman - the Original 1950s Television Series" Varèse Sarabande 302 066 093 2 (2000) [This CD produced by P.

[aka: "Ramar Of The Jungle MT"; Above is the name of the opening Main Title Cue as listed on original production company cue sheets from "Arrow Productions" contributed by D. Schecter who received them from the composer Irving Gertz...According to Gertz, his work for Ramar derived in part from cues originally written for a variety of Religious short films produced by Cathedral Films in Burbank from 1949 - 1953; This was the one project Gertz paid to re-cycle his own music so it could be used on Ramar which had "no budget"] Composer: Irving Gertz (ASCAP) 1978 Publisher: Accolade Music Publ.

[aka: "Ramar Of The Jungle ET"; Above is the name of the closing End Credits Cue, as listed on original production company cue sheets from "Arrow Productions" contributed by D. Schecter who received them from the composer Irving Gertz...According to Gertz, his work for Ramar derived in part from cues originally written for a variety of Religious short films produced by Cathedral Films in Burbank from 1949 - 1953; This was the one project Gertz paid to re-cycle his own music so it could be used on Ramar which had "no budget"; Theme & Library music collector T. Perrone has identified this piece was also used for the closing "End Title" of a filmed morality play called "The Two-Dollar Better" -- about the evils of gambling and how it can ruin a family man who gets in too deep and starts embezzling from his own company; (This same short movie score by Irving Gertz was also the source of the Opening Main Title THEME of "The Millionaire", it was a cue that came from a montage sequence of betting at various race tracks that comes about 18 minutes after the start of the film.) Library music expert P. Mandell and contributor T. Perrone independently verified the name of this "End Credits" cue previously, as "The Cinema Cast" -- used to close all the episodes of "Ramar Of The Jungle"] Composer: Irving Gertz (ASCAP) 1978 Publisher: Accolade Music Publ.
