James Wesley Dodd (March 28, 1910 - November 10, 1964) was best known as the MC of the popular 1950s Disney TV show, The Mickey Mouse Club, as well as the writer of its well-known theme song, The Mickey Mouse Club March. A slowed-down version of this march, with different lyrics, became the very beautiful "Alma Mater" that closed the show.
He had some early film roles in The Three Mesquiteers series of westerns.
Dodd broke in the William Holden Film "Those Were the Days" (1939) in a minor role.
