ou know what can happen when two people both reach for a gun, don’t you? Or when somebody runs into a knife 10 times? Somebody can end up dead, that’s what. Maybe because he chewed – no, make that popped – his gum too loudly. Or lied about being single. Or cheated on his girl. So, turn back the clock to Prohibition and imagine you’re in a certain large city on a Great Lake. If you’d have been there, if you’d have seen what happened, you’d soon realize a whole bunch of dead guys had it coming.

Or so the “merry murderesses” suggest in the musical “Chicago,” which opens this weekend at Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre. “We have this song about how ‘I didn’t do it, but if I did you wouldn’t blame me,’ ” said Angel Berlane of Wilkes-Barre, a chorus member in the “Cell Block Tango” number. “It’s kind of funny.” The play does have a comedic touch, agreed Dane Bower of West Wyoming, who portrays attorney Billy Flynn. And humor is the likely reason audiences will appreciate a cast of manipulative inmates, a conniving matron and Bower’s own character – a lawyer who’s just in it for the money and the spotlight. “The show manages to take the whole cast of unsavory characters,” Bower said, “and make them likeable.”
follow all the murders, and yours is my favorite,’ ” Lynch explained. “It’s like seeing a famous movie star, and when Velma says, ‘I don’t like you,’ you kinda get scared. “Then they switch places.” Helping to move the story along are such wellknown songs as “All That Jazz” and “When You’re Good to Mama,” an 11-piece orchestra and plenty of Bob Fosse-style dancing.
Well, they’re not completely unsavory, said Deirdre Lynch of Wilkes-Barre who portrays Roxie. Though Roxie is clearly guilty of shooting her lover, Lynch said, “She’s not mean. She just did it because she was a pissed-off girl. She’s not vindictive. She’s not a cold-blooded murderer.” Her eventual rival at the jail, Velma, who is in for killing both her husband and her sister, does come across at first as more calculating. “From the second I get on stage, I am breathing power,” said Shana Weinstock of Dallas, who plays Velma. As the storyline progresses, the women’s positions will shift. “The whole show is about the power struggle between Velma and Roxie,” Weinstock said. “At first, when, Roxie meets Velma, she says ‘I

Hip-hop outreach dances to Dallas church IF YOU GO
By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Dallas is not typically a concert venue, but one artist made such an impression on the congregation three years ago it decided it had to have him. “We like to bring some of the experience we have at youth gatherings back to our congregation,” Jean Grube, youth choir director, said. “We always have such an uplifting time; this is one way we can bring a little taste of what we experience back home.” The church travels for a youth gathering every three years. On its last trip, it came across AGAPE: Hip Hop Outreach in New Orleans. “He has a really neat way of connecting with people,” Grube said of the young man named Dave Scherer who sings as AGAPE. “He’s obviously talented, but he also is a very faithful man who can get the message across about God’s love in a unique way that I think reaches not just kids but a lot of people.

Restaurant Review
Pizza joint catches seafood lovers

T
he signage may say pizza and pasta, and the name may imply the same, but don’t be surprised if you walk inside this small but comfortable and clean establishment near the Crossroads and find plenty of people happily eating fish. Tilapia maybe, or more likely haddock. And not just because it’s Lent. Haddock Zelinda, our chipper dynamo of a speedy-onher-feet server informed us, is “the best dish in the house,” and it’s not just a seasonal specialty. Nope, this large piece of basic white fish all dressed up in spinach, mozzarella and fresh tomato and tasting, as my guest told me, just delicious, gets pumped out year-round, if you can get it. Sometimes it sells out, and on the day we visited, we learned, 10 plates had been pre-ordered. Side dishes vary; you can choose fries and slaw — the slaw’s wellchopped and the fries piping hot — or substitute a vegetable in there. Beets were suggested on our visit. Curious, but OK. Now, when the haddock’s gone, it’s gone, we might suppose, so if you lose out, you might not be able to score a piece of the ordinary baked haddock either, which a fellow diner told us was just splendid, too. Basics done right is our best guess. Fortunately, however, you can always get some fun appetizers — potato pancakes and pierogies represent our local proclivities, along with fresh fried calamari and, of course, chicken wings — and good pizza, great pasta and platters and a host of hoagies (creative types) ought to tempt you as well. Prices are reasonable, with nothing much over, say, $7 or $8. Thinking them a nice Lenten complement to the Haddock Zelinda, we started with a shared basket of lobster bites, crisply fried and spilling over the sides. Cocktail sauce accompanied, and when I requested marinara I was quickly handed enough for a full side of pasta. Given the deep-frying, the lobster taste wasn’t readily apparent, we will admit, but it was discernible, and you will know you’re not eating any old fish rolled up in some crumbs.

I then homed in on another house specialty, marked “Dave’s Favorite” and ticketed at $5.95. (If you’re confused by the multiple Colarusso’s around these parts, well, know this one belongs to Dave.) And his favorite hoagie is a mixed meatball and eggplant. What a delightful combination. The meatballs were gloriously homemade, and the eggplant not overly breaded so as to mask its fresh taste. An extra word about “homemade,” by the way. The Italian bread here — served gratis in a basket before each meal — is among the best around. It comes straight from a Colarusso family bakery on Birney Avenue in Moosic, we learned. This is no cardboard, dried-out freebie; it speaks well of its maker. Finally, you probably want to know about the pizza. We tried a cut or two, just for you. (Six sell for $6.50, and toppings are just 10 cents extra per cut, mix and match as you wish. Nice!) Other important notes: Old Forge style. Super-light crust, kind of sloppy (in a good way), not overly cheesy but not skimpy. Sauce has a zing. Toppings are generous. The mushrooms runneth over. Our only complaint — and this was a minor one — was we happen to love onions on our pizza, and they don’t bake them in here, probably because this is the type of pizza that doesn’t need to cook as long, which tends to soften the onions and turn pungent aromas into heavenly aromas. So our pizza was marred ever so slightly by the distinct taste of raw onion, treated more as a topping. An easy fix for next time. We’ll just pass on the onions. And there WILL be a next time. We’re getting in line for more of this fish, fresh from the pizza shop. Times Leader food critics remain anonymous.

whether things will work out for them because this is an overly timid movie about a wild and outrageous concept. There’s no sense of danger or menace, which is a big problem for a movie that should feel like any of its characters could die at any given moment. In fact, the most entertaining part of “The Hunger Games” is the first half, before the games begin, while Katniss and Peeta are coached by a former winner (Woody Harrelson) or given fashion advice by an image consultant (Lenny Kravitz) or interviewed by an obsequious Piers Morgan-type (Stanley Tucci). The actors do a lot with their small roles. Their performances are the only things in the film that don’t feel processed and sterilized and safe. But the ultimate failure of “The Hunger Games” as a movie is not its derivative nature or chintzy production design or even lack of one single memorable set piece. The film’s biggest flaw is the complete absence of vision or imagination — anything that would justify the movie’s existence as something other than a way to cash in on the novel.

as it wrong to expect something from a “Hunger Games” movie other than pajama-party fodder? Suzanne Collins’ dystopian sci-fi novel — the first in a trilogy — was rife with potential for a bold, daring entertainment that blended dark satire and social commentary with big action beats and thrills. Instead, director Gary Ross opted for an earnest, plodding thumb-sucker, a sugar-coated pacifier to appease the screaming hordes. This is a science-fiction movie of the blandest, most generic order, technically adequate but devoid of any wit or insight or anything more substantial and lasting than the cool image of Jennifer Lawrence wielding a wicked bow and arrow. Lawrence is essentially reprising her Oscar-nominated role from “Winter’s Bone”: an adolescent girl tasked with
providing for her family by whatever means necessary. She plays Katniss, a 16-year-old drafted into an annual competition in which teenagers from different social and economic strata are forced to fight to the death. The government-sponsored contest, watched on live TV by millions, is used by the tyrannical President Snow (Donald Sutherland) to keep the masses in check. The screenplay replaces the novel’s first-person narration by Katniss with banal observations about sheep-herd mentality and the vacuous news media and our cultural obsession with celebrity and the perils of reality television and blind “American Idol” worship. Doesn’t this all sound awfully tired? Hasn’t this field been tilled enough? With nothing to engage the mind, “The Hunger Games” aims for the heart. Katniss’ tentative romance with a fellow contestant, Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), is surprisingly sweet and touching — he and Lawrence share all of the film’s best moments — but there’s something rote and programmed about it, too.

director James Bobin. He guides the gang through the story using the same template that made the TV show so good. The return of Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of the gang to the big screen means nostalgic comfort for adults and a rowdy fun time for kids. “TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY,” GRADE A-MINUS: This smart adaptation of John le Carre’s complicated Cold War novel is an example of a production that gets its power from quiet moments. Gary Oldman’s controlled and brilliant performance and director Tomas Alfredson’s direction elevate this tale of a disgraced British spy who returns to the job to find a mole far above the normal spy thriller. Also new this week: “CARNAGE”: Meeting to settle a dispute explodes into a verbal battle.

This week’s new DVD releases have everything from dragons to frogs: “THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO,” GRADE A-MINUS: A reporter and a hacker look into a 40-year-old case.

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS
JUMBLE
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK
Ryan Gosling stars in ‘The Notebook’ Q. Please tell me about Ryan Gosling. I saw a movie called “The Notebook” on TV and I had never heard of him or Rachel McAdams. A. Gosling, 31, is a native of Canada and one of the most highly regarded young actors working today. He has an Oscar nomination to his credit, for his performance in “Half Nelson” in 2006. He was nominated for two Golden Globes this year, as best actor in a drama for “The Ides of March,” and best actor in a comedy or musical for “Crazy, Stupid, Love” and for an Independent Spirit Award for his work in the violent drama “Drive.” (He did not win any of those prizes.) Besides 2004’s “The Notebook,” other distinguished performances include his work in “Blue Valentine” (2010), opposite Michelle Williams, and “Lars and the Real Girl” (2007). You may also have spotted him in a supporting role in “Remember the Titans” or in a number of TV performances earlier in his career. Gosling has been linked to quite a few actresses, including McAdams, but she is now reportedly dating Michael Sheen, with whom she worked in “Midnight in Paris.” McAdams, 33, is also Canadian. Her credits include the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes films, where she played Irene Adler; “The Time Traveler’s Wife”; “Wedding Crashers”; and “Mean Girls” (where she was the meanest meanie). Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag? Write to me at rheldenfels@thebeaconjournal.com or by regular mail to the Akron Beacon Journal, 44 E. Exchange St., Akron, OH 44309.
HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
PAGE 14
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are a lead-
er, and being a leader requires a certain amount of audacity. You’ll make claims and assessments. You’ll direct people. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a vast landscape of knowledge inside you, and you’ll be trimming, weeding and planting new seeds there today. In the evening, people want more from you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a fire in your belly as you approach an exciting prospect. Something like this doesn’t come along every day.
PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will bring
people together. The ones who resist your direction don’t know how wise you are. The ones who heed your advice will be forever changed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The luxuries you experience are organic. If you have to pay for it, it doesn’t count as one of life’s great gifts. You’re able to feel — really feel — the grandeur of nature now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your relationships are so important to you that you are willing to subvert your own interests to promote the interests of a friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may drift in the morning, unsure of where you should put your attention and why. But the afternoon brings clarity.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your influence
counts for more than you think. It will be important to cast your vote, whether it be in the form of money or a testimony. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s something important that your subconscious needs to tell your conscious mind, and you’ll benefit from figuring it out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A past event is on your mind. You initially had a strong reaction, but those intense feelings have faded. You’re almost ready to accept the situation and move past it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll come up with ways to help the people who have been affected by unfortunate circumstances, even though you had nothing to do with the creation of them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Take advan-
tage of the improved sense of focus you have now. You deserve it. Your concentration is good because your conscience is clean and you hold no ill feelings or grudges against anyone. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 23). To celebrate your birthday, you’ll seal a deal and start a new chapter. The next 0 weeks bring many laughing hours with friends. April features romantic intrigue. A summer training program or educational pursuit will be rigorous. It all pays off when you find a way to make money with very little effort at the end of the year. Libra and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 32, 10, 8 and 35.
Doubling up at cemetery makes room for husband’s wives Dear Abby: Years ago I lost my beautiful wife. We had been married for more than 30 years. I bought a plot at the cemetery for both of us, and she’s buried there now. I have since remarried and have been blessed with another wonderful wife. There are no spaces left next to the existing plot, although I would like to be
DEAR ABBY ADVICE placed between both my wives when the time comes. Any recommendations? — Mr. In-Between Dear Mr. In-Between: You have a couple of options. One would be to ask if your cemetery permits “doubledepth” burials, in which one vault is placed on top
of another. Or, if you wish, upon your demise you could choose cremation for yourself and have your ashes divided and placed with both wives. I discussed your question with a wonderful lady, Lisa Carlson, executive director of the Funeral Ethics Organization. She’s a mine of commonsense information on the subject of death and funerals — a subject many people find difficult to discuss. Lisa reminded me that years ago, funerals were

handled at home and by the community, and children grew up understanding what would happen when a death occurred. However, as we turned death over to funeral directors, much of that common knowledge has been lost. The average adult plans only one funeral in a lifetime, and few schools teach us what our choices and rights are — or how to save money on funerals. Readers, the Funeral Ethics Organization publishes free, state-specific pamphlets on the subject of funeral consumer
