Temple returned to the Savoy and D'Oyly Carte in October 1894, replacing John Coates as Baron Van den Berg in "Mirette". In December 1894 at the Savoy, he created the part of Sancho in Sullivan and Burnand's "The Chieftain", and later that month played Sergeant Bouncer when a revival of "Cox and Box" was added to the bill. After a year's absence from the company, he returned to the Savoy briefly in 1896 to give some performances in the title role of a revival of "The Mikado", and he also directed the premiere of Charles Villiers Stanford's "Shamus O'Brien" at the Opera Comique that year, among other directing. He then appeared in the first revival of "Yeomen" in 1897. In December 1898 he filled in as Sir Marmaduke in "The Sorcerer", and in 1899 he played Dick Deadeye again in the third revival of "H.M.S. Pinafore" at the Savoy.
