On the Twelfth Day of May, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Eight, Being the Feast of St. Pancras, Thos. Handleye (Licensed to disseminate all manner of witticisms, jollyties, quips, cranks, and quaint conceits, together with broad-caste ballads and other pieces of musick by ye foremoste composers of ye daye) worshipfully craves leave to present 'Innanninn' (Anon.)

A Burletta Persons Represented

We cannot - let us be frank - explain why Tommy Handley has translated himself into the Eighteenth Century. It is possible that he has mistaken the date on his contract. He is extremely reticent as regards his bill matter, and refuses to furnish any coherent information concerning the entertainment. There is some connection, it appears, between the title 'Innanninn' and 'Ye Three Jolly Gargoyles,' an ancient hostelry situated somewhere at the back of, or on the outskirts of, Tommy's imagination. We learn from him, however, that he has no intention of remaining in an inn throughout an evening in any anno, but, in any case, there is no risk of the entertainment perishing from inanition.
