Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi

Note 57 — Chapter XVII

Reading edition

Grimaldi in this pantomime introduced the happiest of his creations—the vegetable pugilistic figure. On the night of his benefit at Covent Garden, June 25th, Joe played Acres in the "Rivals," as the bills announced, "for this night only." "Harlequin and Asmodeus" followed, for the forty-sixth time. The season terminated on July 24, 1811.
