2 Dec 1929 Parker’s Appeal Professional
Read Narrative
‘There is, perhaps, no more typical cockney comedian than Charles Austin, and his visit to Poplar in “The Adventures of Parker, P.C.” is naturally proving a strong attraction. It was a bold idea of Mr. Austin’s to merge several of his sketches into one long piece, but his foresight is certainly being rewarded, and the sketches seem to fall happily into place in their present form. Mr. Austin’s powers as a mirth-maker are great, and it is to be expected that he should over shadow everyone else in the cast, but he is well served by his loyal company, who play up to him in the right spirit ... Harold Finden, Mr. Austen’s business manager, reveals experience in every line as the Mayor in the Tribunal scene'. The Stage, 5 December 1929.
