Mr Arnot (17**-18**) was apparently a well respected comedian and may have been a British officer stationed in Cape Town.
Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance
He seems to have been involved in productions in the African Theatre by the Garrison Players during the early 19th century, possibly in association with Mr Cuerton. He is only mentioned twice by F.C.L. Bosman (1928), both times with reference to his appearance as "Harlequin" in a Pantomime Farce, also featuring Mr Cuerton as "Clown" (16 April 1814).
