He and announcer
Don Wilson recorded several children's records for Capitol Records which were first released on 78-RPM and later on 33 1/3-RPM. Among them were versions of
Walt Disney's "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" (from the film
Fantasia (1940), and narrated by Wilson) and
Pinocchio (1940) (narrated by Gilmore). They also recorded an album released under the title "Classics For Children", which featured original and adapted stories, with some of the world's great classical music (performed by the Continental Symphony Orchestra) as background music. Among the stories featured were "The Seasons" (set to
Aleksandr Glazunov's ballet), "The Trojan Horse" (set to music from
Sergei Prokofiev's "The Love for Three Oranges"), and three episodes from "Peer Gynt" (set to
Edvard Grieg's music for
Henrik Ibsen's play).
