SHAPIRO STORES ON BOARDWALK.
One for All the Year, the Other for the Summer
—Title of New Song Develops Fondness for
Grammar—Battle Plans Laid Over Alleged
Piracy of Production Number.
A new Shapiro store is to be opened in Atlantic
City, and will be numbered 1633 Boardwalk.
Mr. Shapiro has now decided that this store
shall be maintained the year round, so great
has been the success of his other store in that
resort. The latter store has been operated only
in the summer. On account of the increased
business during the vacation season the old
store, which is at 1029 Boardwalk, will be run
this summer as heretofore, and, probably, dur-
ing future summers. Shapiro now has 14 retail
music stores, including his separate establish-
ments and the music departments in big stores
which he conducts. He is planning to open a
store in Cincinnati, and a site in Chicago is also
included in his tentative plans.
Some headaches, due to painstaking study of
dictionaries, English grammars and even
rhetorics, were nursed at the Shapiro establish-
ment this week. Someone made the charge that
one of Shapiro's new songs had an ungram-
matical title; hence the burrowing among
authorities. The song was, and is, "Any Little
Girl That's a Nice Little Girl is the Right Little
Girl for Me." Only one alleged mistake was
made, in spite of the length of the title. The
supposed error lay in the use of the word "that"
for "who." Specialists were consulted, but the
word "who" could not be made to fit in the
lyrics and melody. Finally Mr. Shapiro decided
fhat the title should stand, error or no error.
As a matter of fact, the fuss was wasted titre.
The word "that" is interchangeable with "who"
in this case. The man that thought there was
an error must give way to the man who thought
there was none.
Another development at the Shapiro estab-
lishment was the information brought to the
head of the firm that another publishing house
was getting ready to issue a song that had
practically the same title, words and melody as
"When Rosalie Sings Ciribiribi," a Shapiro num-
ber which is sung in "Dick Whittington." It

NEW FIRM IN PUBLISHERS' RANKS.
The Regal building, at 1367 Broadway, con-
tinues to be chosen by newcomers in the venture
of publishing popular music. The latest firm
to open offices there are Baer & Bloodgood. Miss
Linda Bloodgood, of this firm, is the author and
composer of several successful songs of the last
few years. She won the song writers' contest
conducted last season by William Morris, Inc.,
in this city, the winning song being "Benie,
Meenie, Minie, Mo." She also wrote "Why I
Married You" and "Good-bye People," which
have been" interpolated in the musical produc-
tion, "They Loved a Lassie." Miss Bloodgood
is well known to music publishers. A few years
ago she was on the staff of Sol Bloom. Morris
Baer is the managing partner of the firm, hav-
ing achieved previous success in other lines of
business.
Henry I. Marshall, of the Shapiro forces, sang
"O, Silent Stars of Night," a serenade of which
Theodore Bendix is the composer, in "Children
of Destiny," at the Savoy Theater all last week.
This is not a musical production, the song being
given as incidental music. Shapiro is to publish
the song. Mr. Marshall recently completed ar-
rangements for the publication of a new song,
"Sweet Anna Lize," with the Ted Snyder Co.
This was written by Bartley Costello and Mr.
Marshall, and was issued by the Snyder Co.
this week.
