Jones soon became house composer and music director for George Edwardes's new Daly's Theatre. After "A Gaiety Girl", Jones again collaborated with Hall and lyricist Harry Greenbank to produce another success, "An Artist's Model" (1894), which ran for fifteen months. This was followed by three of the most successful musical comedies of the 1890s: "The Geisha" (1896), "A Greek Slave" (1898), and "San Toy" (1899). Jones's musical plays were "written in a more musically substantial style than the featherweight entertainment given at the Gaiety. Their librettos sported a solid and serious romantic backbone (confided to the baritone hero Hayden Coffin and the soprano Marie Tempest) alongside their comic and soubrette elements, and the scores which Jones provided included, alongside the lighter material, numbers sentimental and dramatic, as well as some impressive and vocally demanding concerted ensembles and finales."
