One of Indonesia's favourite stars, Rae Sita moved with her family from Brisbane to Jakarta the home of her Javanese father when she was an infant.

When Sheldon's stage career almost ended TONY SHELDON'S brilliant career on the stage one which was in the best tradition of his family almost came to an abrupt halt when he was nine. i j)n fiBe OniuWA (LOVE ON THE GRASS) 1 1 A On October 7th, 'Bedroom Farce' opens at the Theatre Royal in Sydney. Tour by Jansch BERT JANSCH, who toured Australia in 1976 with John Martyn, returns to Sydney on October 5 for a two-day tour.

Jansch will appear at the Kirk Gallery in Surry Hills. He will be supproted by Lee Williams, Kirk Lorange, a former lead guitarist with Richard Clapton, and Al Ward, a member of the Hokum-on-Somble band. The Glasgow-born Jansch has appeared with artists as diverse as Tiny Tim, Alan Stivell and Martyn. Playwright Alan Ayckbourn has already had Australian audiences clutching split seams with The Norman Conquests and How the Other Half Loves'. Although it seems too much to expect 'Bedroom Farce' to be funnier, the London critics assure us it is.

The precocious Sheldon who was then a regular on Graham Kennedy's In Melbourne Tonight was removed from the program by his father who was exercising a piece of well-deserved parental discipline. But that early setback did not deter the youthful Sheldon. At the age of 1 1, he was one of the boys in the Blue Company for Oliver and had a blooming career. Now, the 23-year-old Sheldon and his mother, Toni Lamond, are appearing in hit Broadway musicals on either side of the Pacific. Miss Lamond is starring in the San Francisco production of Annie and Sheldon in Dracula in Sydney.

He plays Jonathan Harkcr, the too-good-to-bc-true hero boyfriend of the pale and languid Miss Lucy. Dracula may well take Sheldon to Adelaide and Melbourne well into the New Year if the predictions for the play's success are realised. This is a plum role for a young man who has already been in theatre for more than 15 years. The play revolves around stalls (oinorrowi uaiiy o.io, 13 IBISO Wa. ll.lt) am)- Sat Sun, and Holiday Mon.
