Nevertheless, lasting reputations have been made by more than one skillful actor in this role. The names of John Rich, Woodward, O'Brien, and Grimaldi among Englishmen, and of the famous French Carlin, will be remembered as having devoted real genius to the presentment of the character of Harlequin.
