It means to act foolishly. There are many forms of this phrase too such as in the British comic Ally Sloper's Half-Holiday used the phrase in a March 1892 edition:

"Fanny Robinson was flighty; she played the giddy ox - I mean, heifer."

Also the phrase "Acting the goat" can mean the same thing like in the memoir Stray Leaves from a Military Man's Note Book:

"Don't be actin' the goat."
