ON STAGE: And all that jazz

On Feb. 16 we saw an entertaining production of the Broadway musical "Chicago" at the Milburn Stone Theatre at Cecil Community College in North East, Md. The show, based on a 1920s scandal, makes a lot of scathing observations about reporters, lawyers and the cult of celebrity that remain very relevant today.
A friend who loves TV Westerns recognized the name "Milburn Stone" as that of the actor who portrayed "Doc" in "Gunsmoke." Mr. Stone, who died in 1980, left money in his will to build the theater, which is lovely and comfortable.
