LIFE OF STUDENT N NEW YORK
 NO BED OF ROSES, SAYS NIXON

Have you ever pondered what might be the most exciting moment in a human life?
 What is that moment fullest of overwhelming human Joy?
 Oh, surely it Is that hour when one has attained some dear object for which he has striven day and night -oVer which he has spent years of mental effort, physical weariness and pain of tedious accomplishment!
 This young Birmingham youth Is rushing on to such an occasion Tn human experience-for he expects to debut as a violinist in Aeolian hall in New York city in 1926. And for that great cause-this gay-day mo- ment-he has been striving since he was years old.
 Think of such a fluttering. mad enchanting, exotically alluring mo- ment as that Oh. in such an hour one could forget the whole world! It is a lilac time-sweeter, oh. sweeter by far than sweetheart song.
 For it is an occasion of the fullest expansion of the soul--a butterfly soul-suddenly released and heavily breathing after its chrysalis state expanding it's wings in shimmeringi singing sunshine.
 The young musician is David Nix on of Bessemer. and of him Alabama and the whole south are-and may well be-proud.

 A Musical Genius.
 For he is one of those fortuHatSz whom the gods have picked upon to bless with a perception and rare love of the artistic, and. greater than that, with & will to do and dare. At 19, he Is already considered mu- sical' wizard. And one day Alabama expects him to reflect glory on her name afar as 6 great concert artist.
 He hasn't got million dollars not half a million, even-but he Is going to complete his music-wen. if 1t finally takes trading off vio- lin night after the debut's over.
 Then 1t wouldn't matter. One could earn violin right back again If it took selling nails or spikes or painti For the knowledge of the music then ia yours-is yours-is yoursl That-and the joy of it--no one can take away from you.
 It Is this spirit of Independence and the desire to help himself that has been responsible for Mir. Nixon's capturing two of Alabamas musical prizes for young artists last year, and which paid his actual tuition, amounting to several hundred dol lars.
 For music is expensive--and when you take from tho great SpierfnS

 It was Mrs. Davids' scholarship Mir. Nixon won. In addition, he cap tured the Alabama state prize of s26 offered by Mrs. Victor Hanson.
 Those two feats bespesk. through such impartial judges. how well this young man has applied his time to music. And very modestly this week he related, sitting in a delightfully."- cool swing at his home in Bessemer, that one day he hopes to capture and deserve-the reputation of being tho best violinist of the south.
 He already ranks as one of its most prominent student players-if not actually the most conspicuous.
 The concert stage has always been his aim; and just how he has im- proved his already skilful playing, Birmingham and Bessemor are to have the enjoyable opportunity to know when he will appear in recital at Bessemer the second or third week in July.

Is never too tired to respond to a i request to play, and 1t Is delightful l to sit with closed eyes and hear him play at his home, where, without any restraint, he is joy as he wanders about the room or seeks little darkened corner by himself. So that nothing may distract his attention from the interpretation of the music as ho feels 1t In his soul. And that Is the keynote of the prize winners S successful playing.
 He feels-and he makes you feel. Public Likes His Playing.
 There Is a heart in his playing He loves best slow. toneful music rather than that just technical or showy. That's why folks like to hear him play&and that Is the thing that argues loudest that he will be a success in the future. One cannot forget this playing, once having heard 1t. He is tall. with independ- ent bearing, has flashing bright eyes and numbers his friends by just how many folks he meets.
 An interesting side-light on fur ther life among musicians in New York Is the good service the Gotham music houses render to students. "They are exceedingly helpful. There are also various orchestras which students can join. They get no money for their playing but the experi- ence Is excellent training"
 But New Workers and Northerners as whole are not so helpful to their young students as the South Is, MT. Nixon said. The South is ahead when 1t comes to offering as- sistance to young students, by schol- arshlps.
 MT. Nixon has two very fino vio- lins, His instructor said they were the best possessed by any of the made in 1723, which the artist boasts he bought on the installment plan when he was 16 years old; and the other, an Amati, given him when he was 15, by his grandmother, Mrs. Emily West.
 Probably the greatest thrill of his past year was one day when the Bir- mingham youth was playing in con- cert at Wurlitzer's. in New York. Suddenly,> on his vision, broke the fact of his old violin instructor in Washington, with whom he studied two years. The latter had come to New York on business and had just happened in to the concert.
 "Of course, we were Tn nigh glee Rut the thing that made me rejoice was the fact that the old professor told me I had improved a hundred per cent. When I get discouraged sometimes, his words still buck me up.
 He was lot of help"
 It Is rare that young artist can boast the record this Alabama youth holds When he was four years old, he made. S25 a. week singing in one of the Birmingham theatres.
 He will go back to the Art Insti- tue the coming season, leaving in October.
 Ut Is a very fine school" he re- lated, with everything to offer if you strive"
 This summer, MT. Nixon plans to give numerous concerts throughout Alabama and the south. for several of which he is already been booked.
 In his Bessemer recital, a feature of the program will be interpreta- tive dancing by Jeanne Kershaw, a newcomer, and a very graceful and attractive artist.
