Tessa steals the show from more experienc- ed thespia-ns when she makes her stage debut as Lady Astor in ‘Teahouse of the August Moon'. Who is this brown eyed beau- ty? Tessa is a goat belonging to Mr. and Mrs. D. Douglas-Cramp- ton of Maple and has already established herself as a firm favourite of the cast. Travelling nightly from Maple, Tessa patiently waits in‘ the jeep until her cue, and co- erced by hot dog buns (which she adores) makes her grand entrance, only to suffer the in- dignities of being hoisted on yet another jeep by Okinawans for a trip to Tobiki. Tessa returns to the stage again in Act II and is then only too pleased that her ‘act- mg bid’ for the night is thrau-gh, and she can quietly finish her hot dog bu-n without fear of in-termption.
