 In consultation with Rupert D'Oyly Carte, he was responsible for making major textual revisions to "Ruddigore" when it was revived, for the first time, in December 1921.Around the same time, he worked with the company's musical director, Harry Norris, to create the radically shortened "Savoy Edition" of "Cox and Box", and he approved any changes to stage business, such as Darrell Fancourt's introduction of the Mikado's famous laugh.His relations with Malcolm Sargent, whom Carte brought in to conduct London seasons in 1926 and 1929–30, were less harmonious.
