Answers: Does anyone know the name of this actor?

Courtesy of IMDB, I was able to check my memory, having seen this film not long ago. I was certain it wasn't Cagney or even Powell.

"Sittin' on a Back Yard Fence"
Music by Sammy Fain
Lyrics by Irving Kahal
Danced by Ruby Keeler
Sung by Ruby Keeler, Billy Taft and Chorus

Billy Barty does play the mouse during this number. That I remembered. I just wasn't quite certain that I was recalling the correct singer. I suppose I should trust my memory more.

James Cagney?

I have to guess that it was Dick Powell because his character and Keeler's were lovers in the film. I can't find any information on who sang what songs.

Billy Barty
