Viola Mitchell is a 12-year-old child prodigy, whose parents are forsing her to live a normal girl's life when she might be rich and famous. On a recent trip to New York with her teacher, Miss Margaret Horno, she played her rare Guarnerius violin before Prof. O. Sevick, teacher of Kubelik and other prominent violinists. "She is marvellous! At 20 she will be another Maud Powell!" he exclaimed. Immediately Viola was besieged with vaudeville offers. But her father and mather Dr. and Mrs. Atlee Mitchell, refused them all and took their daughter back to their Pittsburgh home, where she is kept away from music for all but a short time each day and told to go out and play with other girls." "Better a normal, happy daughter than a thousand pale-faced child wonders"," is Dr. Mitchell's motto.
