Following is an excerpt from the London Times of Oct. 22, 1892: "From the uproarious merriment produced last night by Mr. Penley in 'Charley's Aunt,' a prosperous career may be augured for this clever comedian's new character. A couple of young fellows of Oxford invite their sweethearts to luncheon, at which an elderly lady—Charley's aunt——ia to play propriety. At the last minute the aunt is unable to come.
