Smith, Cecil (1906–56), critic and author. After studying at Harvard he served for many years on the faculty of the University of Chicago. At the same time, he was music critic and sometime drama critic for the
Chicago Tribune. Smith was also associated with other publications, including
Theatre Arts Monthly, of which he was associate editor and for which he generally wrote about musicals. His
Musical Comedy in America (1950) was the first serious study of the whole history of our musical theatre and remains a perceptive, eminently readable work. It was brought up to date by Glenn Litton in 1981.
