MUSICAL
BARON

The Baron Andor Won Coboly, Of
Budapest, Hungary. is gone. and be-
hind his departure there is a sad
story. mates, for those who have any
sparks of genius, concealed about
their persons. and who have an idea
that Atlanta ranks high in the scale
Of musical knowledge and apprecia-
tiod, for alasl It's not thus
It's the tale of a genius who ge-
infused around out at the Georgian
Terrace for some time, his confusing
taking the form Of eminent compos-
ing, and who up and went away from
there Wednesday because certain
peevish persons. persons OF low COM
mercial instincts and primeval tastes
in music, confused eminent compos-
ing with the common or garden va
riety Of noise, and plaintively OBJ
iected to sonatas in E fiat, or in A
hotel room. or anywhere. served Ia
carte in the still watches Of the
night
Nelahbeg Called Him "Guy."
Speaking OF the Baron Andor Won
coboly. NJ. D.. B. NJ. A. NJ. PHI D.,
and 20 on, globe trotting millionaire
nobieran. lieutenant OF Hungarian
Hussars. and-4eninent composer, he
is gone from among us now, with sor-
row in his heart and his soul filled
with unhatterins opinions Of Allan
ta's musical taste; gone partly be-
cause he wanted to 80 and partly
because the folks at the Terrace deli
cately limited that sleeping should
take precedence over eminent com
posing. One guest In room near
the Baron's vehemently suggested
suppression of thai guys" night
COMPOSING
The Baron left quite number Of
shattered hearts and dreams, IL re-
ports can be believed; for he was
very popular in social circles and was
great deal of lion. subject to the
wiles and witchery Of a whole lot Of
Atlanta's beautiful young society
girls.
Here Five Weeks.
Five weeks ago the Baron Won CO.
boly burst upon the horizon of the
Terrace. He registered. installed a
piano in his room and began his emf
nent composing, and he is really a
famous composer. He worked stead
ily for week without exciting any
comment for he worked during the
daytime.
Soon his social engagements took
up all the daylight hours. and he be-
gan doing some eminent composing
ut night. Then there began TO be
heard mutterings OF discomfort; muir
lnurs of revolt arose. and delicate
hints we're conveyed to Me saEsr
Keen that It would be wise to segie-
gate the Baron. to pass laws making
the night a closed season on eminent
composing
Finally a delegation OF outraged
guests descended en- masse upon
Manager Keen and stated in plain
terms that they had been robbed OF
sleep long enough; they needed sleep,
they wanted sleep, and sleep they
must have. The suggestion was made
that the management Of the Terrace
regulate the eminent composing.
Baron ls Indignant
So Mr.. Keen sent word up to the
Baron that he must cease his emil
nent composing. or do It only In the
daytime, whereupon the Baron came
down in high dudgeon, and forthwith
slapped Atlanta sharply upon the
wrist. taking our beloved city TO task
for her lack OF musical knowledge
and her horrid manners
The Baron left Atlanta Wednesday
at O'Clock. he said he was going
from here to Augusta, and VIII then
make an automobile trip to New
York City.
