Dogged By Teen-agers
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Sept. 6. A small black poodle succeeded where dozens of teenage girls had failed to get past security guards and policemen looking after the English “pop” singer, Billy J. Kramer, at Whenuapai. After passing through Customs at the airport this evening, Mr Kramer was whisked into the V.I.P. lounge, much to the annoyance of the 200 youngsters who had braved the rain to see him. However, shortly after-
wards the poodle Tania was slipped through a door with a note in her collar for the singer. It asked for four autographs on the paper. He obliged, and also added three autographed photographs of himself. He tucked them all back in Tania’s collar. Kramer, who has just completed an Australian tour, has a black eye and three stitches in a cut alongside the eye. They are concealed behind dark glasses. Two persons walked into his hotel in Sydney and picked a fight, one of them hitting him in the face with a bottle, he said this evening.
The stitches will come out in about four days and he will continue to wear the dark glasses until then. His tour ends in Christchurch on Saturday.
