A photograph of the foyer, and scroll down for a close-up of the exterior:

This one may have escaped the recent rampage of rioting that destroyed three other theaters in the area.
I do not think the picture cited above is in fact a picture of the Scala, in spite of its labeling on flickr. I appears to be actually a picture of the staircase at the Siam Theater /theaters/32780/ . There is a picture of the entry to the Siam on the theater’s website http://www.apexsiam-square.com/home.asp and the ceiling light fixtures and other details look like the ones in the picture cited. In addition, this website’s description of the Scala: View link makes it sound like it is rather shabby place. The Siam was one of the theaters wrecked in the recent rioting so I don’t know how long its website will stay active.
Well, I guess I was wrong; this website View link has both an exterior and lobby photo of the Scala (and there is no doubt that it is because of the exterior picture), yet on the APEX Theater’s website, it is not called the Scala but the pictures match up. Now I wonder if the the Scala and the Siam are/were one and the same, and which, if either, survived the rioting.
