Opening Fanfare: "Fanfare"

    [According to Craig Pattillo, Heindorf was the orchestra

Main Theme: "Warner Brothers Presents"

    [aka: "Dominique's Theme", from "The Fountainhead";

     Verified as the THEME in TV Guide article "It Seems To Me
     I've Heard That Theme Before" July 28, 1956, pp. 12-13;
     
     According to Jon Burlingame, this theme was adapted from 
	  cues for the 1949 film "The Fountainhead", which was 
     scored by Steiner -- in particular, the section called
    "Dominique's Theme".

     This was verified in person by comparing an aircheck of 
     the TV show at the Museum of TV and Radio in Beverly Hills
     with a recording of "The Fountainhead."]
