3. Scaramouche is a classic clown character from the

Commedia dell'arte theatrical tradition, popular in the 17th century. A "skirmisher." Then the title of a 1921 swashbuckler adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini. It was made into a 1923 movie with Ramon Navarro, and then the 1952 version with Stewart Granger.
