Craig Endler of Canyon Country found this casting notice for “The Littlest Angel” in the publication Drama-Logue:

“All roles must sing and move well and have good comedic timing, except for ‘God.’ ”

Smart strategy. It usually isn’t advisable to get pushy with Him.

Herb Meadow of L.A., intrigued by the expiration date of a chiropractor’s offer (see photo), reports: “I called--they assured me the coupon is still good!”

He’s lucky. How many other people in the last 2,080 years didn’t bother to call?

Personne Complet, a Woodland Hills company, says it’s starting a combination salon/dating service.

Naturally, there’ll be an “on-staff psychic counselor” to give “people a deeper look at themselves and what they’re looking for.”

The counselor, Carole Atkinson, “who has tested (positively) at UCLA for extrasensory perception (1959-60),” will charge $35 for any date she sets up.

Personne Complet is apparently the first beauty shop in the nation that can say it offers a shampoo and prince.

During October and November, visitors waiting in line to board the tram for the Universal Studios tour will be able to view “Wasteful Willie,” described as “a brief, humorous video” emphasizing the importance of recycling.

Really, there are places to walk in L.A. You just have to get off the freeway, as the new book, “Stairway Walks in Los Angeles,” illustrates.

The urban hiker has a choice of such eye-catching treks as the dead-end “Ghost Stairways” above Pacific Coast Highway, the red-brick Janss Stairway at UCLA, the granite steps and iron railings of the Woodshire Stairway in Beachwood Canyon, the zig-zagging Earl Street Stairway in Silver Lake and the monster, 230-step-high Baxter Street stairway in Elysian Heights.

Authors Adah Bakalinsky and Times staff writer Larry Gordon found some unexpected sights along the way--for instance, a 1968 memorial left by the kids of Elysian Heights Elementary School to their mascot, a cat named Room 8.

The kitty is the subject of 30 tributes in the sidewalk along Echo Park Avenue, including such ditties as:

Without a Name / To Room 8 He Came / To Give Our School / The Greatest Fame.

An attorney playing in a seniors tennis tournament in Studio City brought his portable telephone to the match, beepers having apparently fallen out of style.

While he was warming up, the phone rang on the court. He scurried over. Was it a millionaire client? The maitre d’ at Spago? The producer of “L.A. Law?”

Nope. A wrong number. The lawyer lost his match in straight sets.
