 In the end the response was favorable and the dedication was graciously accepted.The first act of "Les Millions d'Arléquin" featured a scene where the character Columbine appears on the balcony of her house and is serenaded from the street by the character Harlequin with his prop mandolin (though a prop guitar was also used in subsequent performances).Drigo's music for this scene became popular in its own right and was published separately in arrangements for various instruments.
