Summary

Pathe synopsis: ...and that involves Cyril the stork, one of Roger Stevenson’s newest puppet stars, parading - and we really mean parading - today at a Filey holiday camp [Butlin’s]. Roger’s nimble fingers manipulating multiple marionettes gets everyone going including Pepe the clown, a puppet who’s himself a puppet master, a whole teddy bears’ picnic and a new siinging sensation that look like "Beatles" and call themselves "Cockroaches".
