In 1918 and after the war, Novello continued to write successfully for musical comedy and revue. The former included "Who's Hooper?" (1919), an adaptation of a Pinero play, with a book by Fred Thompson, lyrics by Clifford Grey, and music by Howard Talbot and Novello, and "The Golden Moth" by Thompson and P. G. Wodehouse (1921), for which Novello provided the entire score. For Charlot, he contributed numbers to the revues "Tabs" (1918), "A to Z" (1921) and "Puppets" (1924). For the second of these, his songs included one of his few well-known comedy numbers, "And Her Mother Came Too", with lyrics by Dion Titheradge, written for Jack Buchanan.
