[55] It was resumed on the opening of the season of 1810-11; the private boxes remaining the same; on September 18th the theatre closed; the obnoxious boxes were rendered free to the public, and on the 24th, peace was finally established. [56] The "Deserter of Naples" was revived at Covent Garden on May 23, 1810, not in March; nor in fact was this Grimaldi's first appearance as Skirmish. He had in the last season, in the Old Theatre, played that part for Mr. Charles Taylor's benefit, June 3, 1808. After its revival in May, the "Deserter of Naples" was repeated a few nights during the remnant of that season. "Mother Goose" was again revived on June 12th. The theatre closed on July 6th, and re-opened for the season of 1810-11, on September 10th, not October, as here stated. [57] 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. [58] Sadler's Wells opened on Easter Monday, April 15, 1811, with "Dulce Domum;" Clown, Mr. Grimaldi, with two new songs, "A Peep at Turkey," and "Massena's Retreat." "Harlequin and Blue Beard" followed on July 15, in which Joe, in the character of Clown, sang "Mr. Greig and Mrs. Snap; or, Bubble, Squeak, and Pettitoes." The season extended till October. At Covent Garden, September 30th, "Raymond and Agnes" was revived, and the parts of Jaques and Robert, sons of Baptiste the robber, were played by Grimaldi and Cardoza; and on boxing-night, December 26th, the new pantomime called "Harlequin and Padmanaba; or, The Golden Fish," in which Grimaldi played Cayfacat Adhri, the Persian cook, afterwards Clown. This entertainment was highly attractive: several embossed prints were published of Joe's drolly transformed vehicle, drawn by a pair of dogs, to ridicule the superb curricle of a West Indian gentleman better known as Mr. Romeo Coates. [59] Covent Garden commenced the season of 1811-12, in September, not October. Joe, on September 11th, played Kanko, in "La Perouse;" on the 16th, Clown in "Harlequin and Asmodeus;" on the 26th, Orson; and on the 30th of the same month, in "Raymond and Agnes." Norman played Joe's part of Baptiste the robber; Grimaldi and Cardoza for the first time represented his sons Jaques and Robert, by which a change productive of greater scenic power was effected. [60] Grimaldi played Acres at Covent Garden theatre, June 25, 1811. On the night of his benefit, June 24, 1812, "Cato" was performed, followed by the pantomime of "Harlequin Padmanaba," for the forty-ninth or fiftieth representation that season.
