British humorist and lyricist/playwright P. G. Wodehouse had supplied some lyrics for "Very Good Eddie" but now joined the team and collaborated with Kern and Bolton at the theatre for "Oh, Boy!" (1917), which ran for 463 performances and was one of the first American musicals to have a successful London run. According to Bloom and Vlastnik, "Oh, Boy!" represents "the transition from the haphazard musicals of the past to the newer, more methodical modern musical comedy ... the libretto is remarkably pun-free and the plot is natural and unforced. Charm was uppermost in the creators' minds ... the audience could relax, have a few laughs, feel slightly superior to the silly undertakings on stage, and smile along with the simple, melodic, lyrically witty but undemanding songs". Next, the team wrote "Oh, Lady! Lady!!" (1918). Two other shows, "Leave It to Jane" and "Have a Heart", were written by the three in 1917 for the Princess but presented elsewhere. They also wrote several musicals for other theatres, such as "Miss 1917".
