 This was a musical comedy version of Arthur Wing Pinero's 1885 play, "The Magistrate", and served as a vehicle for the comedian W. H. Berry, who had been the star of "High Jinks".Monckton's successful songs included "I Want to Go to Bye-Bye", "The Game That Ends with a Kiss", and "Powder on Your Nose".Monckton was discouraged by Edwardes's death and unwilling to adapt his style of writing to the newly popular syncopated American dance rhythms, ragtime, and other "noisy numbers" that were heard in theatres.
