Overlay two seaborn plots in jupyter

I'm trying to overlay 2 seaborn distplots in jupyter notebook. This code works if I use the normal python shell but doesn't work with Jupyter. I get only one graph. The second graph is not displayed.

import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from IPython.display import display
%matplotlib inline
sns.set()
sns.distplot(x['wr'], kde=False, label='16-4', hist_kws={"alpha": 0.2})
sns.distplot(y['wr'], kde=False, label='17-4', hist_kws={"alpha": 0.2})
plt.show()

Please don't suggest using the hue argument.

I've tested that this works on my sample data:

ax = sns.distplot(x['wr'], kde=False, label='16-4', hist_kws={"alpha": 0.2})
sns.distplot(y['wr'], kde=False, label='17-4', hist_kws={"alpha": 0.2}, ax=ax)
#                                                                       ^^^^^

But, actually, my code works with or without the ax=ax; so I'm curious to know if it will work for you.
