130 (World of Music) THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD may is, 1922 BERNSTEIN MAKES ADDRESS Prominent Publisher Talks Before Meeting of Talking Machine Men, Inc. SITE FOR NATIONAL CONSERVATORY Representative Husted, of New York, Introduces Bill With That Object in View "MAKE IT SNAPPY" OPENS New Eddie Cantor Show Well Received — Several Numbers That Promise to Become Hits Louis Bernstein, of Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc., addressed the monthly meeting of the Talking Machine Men, Inc., which was held at the Cafe Boulevard, New York City, recently. Mr. Bernstein addressed the gathering at about the same season in 1921 and at that time he impressed the Association with the advisability of stocking popular sheet music as a retail proposition. In his talk at the meeting this year he stated that he was glad to see that to-day the average talking machine store is handling such goods. Several members of the professional department of Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc., were present and demonstrated a number of new songs in the catalog, all of which will be campaigned on during the Summer and early Fall. These include: "On the 'Gin, 'Gin, 'Ginny Shore," which has already achieved some success; "Gee, But I Hate to Go Home," a ballad which was received with enthusiasm; "Ohio Shore" and the novelty comic song, "Who Tied the Can to the Old Dog's Tail?" Washington, D. C, May 8. — The allocation of an appropriate site in Washington on which shall be erected a building for the use of the National Conservatory of Music of America is sought by Representative Husted, of New York, in a bill which he has introduced in Congress. The measure provides that the Fine Arts Commission shall select the site and set it apart for the use of the National Conservatory. Such ground is to be used only as a site tor the buildings of the conservatory, and any structures erected thereon are to be first approved by the Fine Arts Commission.
