Eugene Frederick Rodemich (April 13, 1890 in St Louis, Missouri – February 27, 1934 in New York) was a pianist and orchestra leader, who composed the music for numerous films in the late 1920s and early 1930s, mostly cartoons and live-action short subjects produced by The Van Beuren Corporation and distributed by RKO Radio Pictures.

An entrepreneur, he formed the Rodemich Orchestra Exchange, through which he put together small bands of St. Louis-area musicians to play for wedding receptions and other social functions.

[2] Rodemich was musical director of Van Beuren Studios from 1929 through 1934, writing music and directing the orchestra for animated cartoon series such as Aesop's Fables, Tom & Jerry (a duo similar to Mutt & Jeff, not to be confused with MGM's famous cat and mouse of the 40s and 50s) and Cubby the Bear.

He composed for many of the studio’s live-action shorts, featuring comedians such as Bert Lahr and Shemp Howard, as well as Van Beuren's 1932-1934 reissues of Charlie Chaplin's Mutual comedies of 1916-1917.

[4] Singles Rodemich became ill while making a recording with his orchestra, which had been accompanying an NBC radio program on Sunday nights.
