Possibly a variation of Thomas Dibdin's Harlequin and Mother Goose; or, The Golden Egg, which had been first played at Covent Garden in London in 1806, providing Joe Grimaldi with his most famous role. It is probable that the later star performers adapted the actions according to the time and place. http://www.libraryofbirmingham.com/article/grimaldi/harlequinandmothergoose
