—and still more Chatter man. He recently invested $1.50 in fishing tackle, but when he went out to sea to use it, he became seasick. NUMEROLOGY — philosophy — Pythagoras. Dull words. But Leitza Taus Ve, KFI Pythagorean philosopher and numerologist, is far from being a dull person. She is on the sunny side of thirty, more than ordinarily good-looking, and a thoroughly modern, as a real philosopher should be. MARCIA CONRAD, efficient secretary at KMTR, has a secret "Rose Lady," who sends her roses every week. Recently the lady sent her a good luck elephant, by way of variety. Probably expressing her good wishes for the success of the new studio over which Marcia presides. MICHEL PI ASTRO, conductor of the Standard Symphony (NBC from San Francisco) is back. This able fiddler stopped off long enough in New York to be appointed concertmaster to Toscanini. Judging by his conducting, he'll make a fine concert-master — as long as Toscanini's health is good. His home-coming concert had about as many things wrong with it as one symphony concert could have. THE GREAT musical public of the world will probably thank Owen Bartlett for becoming a good jazz-band leader, instead of a violin virtuoso. There's too many virtuosi already. Bartlett was a child prodigy in his tender, unsuspecting years. The war made him a sax player in a military band. Poverty forced him to play dance music. Having forced him into it, Poverty departed and ceded her place to Fortune. Now he's a prosperous and successful dance band chief at KFI-KECA. BEGINNING June 7, KHJ will broadcast the Cathedral Hour chain program, from New York, at 12 noon every Sunday. SPEAKING of coming back — Earl Burtnett, the Grand Old Man of local jazz orchestras, has gone away. Much to our regret, because his was undoubtedly the best dance band in Los Angeles — although we had unprintable opinions about that trio. Taking his place is Bill Hogan, who hails from the Arizona Biltmore. Burtnett goes to the Chinese Gardens in Chicago. If you can get up as early as 8:30 on Sunday, June 7, you can get the first local broadcast of the International Broadcasts, from London. The mike stars for these programs include such popular figures as H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, the Lord Mayor of London, George Bernard Shaw and others. It's an educational feature that everybody should make his kids listen to. AND JEAN POWERS, who assists Raymond Paige, married a redheaded girl. Her name is Laurette Lacy. She's not a radio person.
