Clarke moved to New York City early in his career, where he worked as an actor and a staff writer for comedians. He began working on Tin Pan Alley, where he contributed music to films such as ''The Jazz Singer'' (1927), ''Weary River'' (1928), ''On with the Show'' (1929) and ''Is Everybody Happy?'' (1929).

He wrote the lyrics to the show ''Dixie to Broadway'', and also contributed to the 1921 ''Ziegfeld Follies'' and ''Bombo''. Later in his career he became a charter member of ASCAP and was successful in the music publishing business.

Clarke was the author of the lyrics to many popular songs of the 1910s and 1920s, among them "Second Hand Rose" and "Am I Blue?", working with composers such as George W. Meyer, Harry Akst, James V. Monaco, Al Piantadosi, Fred Fisher, Harry Warren, Arthur Johnston, James Hanley, Lewis F. Muir and Milton Ager. Provided by Wikipedia
