‘The famous comedian Charles Austin has been engaged to open at the Palace on Monday in “Parker P.C.” Theatregoers have followed with delight the hilarious and adventurous career of “Parker,” one of the greatest comedy creations variety has brought to the stage. For many years “Parker” in different guises and situations has been an inexhaustible source of merriment, but in the latest episode “The Adventures of Parker P.C.,” he is more irresistibly and consistently funny than ever. Charles Austin himself is said by the critics to be better than ever he has been, his new role giving him every opportunity for his own inimitable natural style of comedy. He is supported by a company of artistes’. West Ham and South Essex Mail, 27 September 1929.
