Page 1 P Pinner, George {fl. 17421755}, actor. At the James Street playhouse George Pinner played Antinous in Ulysses on 31 May 1742 and Benducar in Don Sebastian on 5 January 1743. He was again in London on 6 October 1746, playing Chamont in The Orphan at the New Wells, May Fair, for his benefit. On the sixteenth he appeared at Southwark as Aimwell in The Stratagem. From 27 October to the middle of November he was at the Goodman's Fields Theatre, acting Alvarez in The Revenge, a Recruit in The Recruiting Officer, Aimwell, Omar in Tamerlane, Jeremy in Love for Love, Freeman in A Bold Stroke for a Wife, Trueman in The London Merchant, Martin in The Anatomist, and Hubert in The Royal Merchant. On 2 May 1748 Jane Shore was presented at the Haymarket Theatre; the General Advertiser said Pinner played Bellmore, but the Daily Advertiser gave that role to Palmer. At Bartholomew Fair on 24 August 1748 Pinner played the Master in The Consequences of Industry and Idleness; at the New Wells, Leman Street, on 27 February 1749 he was Blunt in The Committee; and at Bartholomew Fair in August he acted the Bastard in King John. Pinner appeared at the Haymarket Theatre from 3 to 15 September 1755 as Muckworm in The Honest Yorkshireman, Bullock in The Recruiting Officer, Cook in The Devil to Pay, a Fisherman and Thunder in The Rehearsal, and Aesop in Lethe. Pinnick, Robert d. 1778, actor? The Morning Chronicle reported that Robert Pinnick, formerly of Drury Lane Theatre, died on 4 February 1778. Pinnick is otherwise unknown. Possibly an error was made in the name, and if so, the likeliest candidate would be the actor Paddick, who was at Drury Lane from 1749 to perhaps 1760. Pinington, Thomas b. 1711, oddity, dancer, tumbler. The Daily Advertiser of 6 December 1744 announced that Thomas Pinington, age 33, born in Liverpool without legs, feet, or hands, was performing hornpipe dancing and tumbling at Rummer Tavern, Charing Cross. He was also exhibited at May Fair in 1746. Pinny, Mrs. See PENNY, CATHERINE. Pinto, Mr {fl. 17841793?}, violinist. A Mr Pinto, probably a son though possibly a brother of Thomas Pinto the well-known concert violinist, was listed by Charles Burney as a "second violinist" among the performers at the Handel Memorial Concerts at Westminster Abbey and the Pantheon in May and June 1784. Nothing more seems to have been recorded about his performances. Possibly he was the Mr Pinto whose name appears in the Minute Books of the Royal Society of Musicians nearly a decade later. Several entries there suggest that he was in ill health. On 1 July 1792 a letter received from him was "referred to {the} Gen{eral} Meeting." On 2 June 1793 a "petition'' from him was likewise referred. On 5 August 1798 the Board received "thanks from Mrs Pinto for {a} benefaction of 5 paid to her by order of Gen. Meeting." Payments in the same amount were made to her on 4 August 1799, 3 August 1800, and 5 July 1801. Pinto, George Frederick 17851806, violinist, pianist, singer. George Frederick Pinto was born in the Lambeth district of London on 25 September 1785, the son of Samuel Sanders and the singer
