This ad, headed “WANTED, HIGH-CLASS MUSICAL COMEDIES” appeared in the January 24, 1920, issue of The Billboard:
I don’t know if Scott’s Theatre succeeded in attracting high-class musical comedies in 1920, but in 1927 the Hampton High School yearbook reported that “Scott’s Theatre was almost completely filled” for the April 22 performance of the school’s Senior Class play.This web page has a colorized postcard of the Scott Theatre (click third thumbnail in the bottom row.)
The Scott opened at this location on Aug 25, 1919 and closed on March 12, 1932.
The Langley opened on April 18, 1932 and closed on Aug 19, 1967.
The Scott and the Langley looked very differently. A local old timer told me that the Scott front was remodeled but most of the building retained when it became the Langley.
The building has since been demolished.
The last movie to play at the Langley was The Alamo
