A Cameo Cartoon
Written and produced for radio by Trevor Hill
Soloist Doris Gambell
Incidental music composed by Ray Martin who conducts the orchestra and chorus
All cats, of course, have beautiful voices. But if they are wise they will not let human beings hear them sing in tune. They know only too well what happened to Timothy when he sang in tune, and was exploited by an Italian showman.
