Ernest Ford’s Mr Jericho is another example of the one-act operettas performed at the Savoy Theatre. (See also François Cellier’s Captain Billy.) Mr Jericho (1893) is a witty and entertaining social comedy featuring characters such as the Earl of Margate, who is now reduced to living in a cottage and doing his own gardening, his son, Viscount Ramsgate, working as a bus driver, and the eponymous hero, manufacturer of the world-famous Jericho’s Jams.
