The Scott Theatre first had a soft opening on October 10, 1947 with Dale Evans in “Bells Of San Angelo” along with the first Casper Noveltoon “The Friendly Ghost”, a newsreel, and Chapter 3 of Jack Armstrong.
It had a short four-day soft launch, which softly launched with the attraction above for the first two days and the city’s premiere of “Miracle On 34th Street” along with the Bugs Bunny Merrie Melodie “A Hare Grows In Manhattan” and a newsreel on the final two days. The official grand opening of the Scott Theatre was held on October 14, 1947 with “Tarzan And The Huntress” with no short subjects.
The marquee now says “ROSS” instead of SCOTT, but the theater is still open and looks to be in good shape!
Boxoffice pf February 4, 1956, reported that Mrs. Ethel K. Walsh, president of the Scott Amusement Company, had turned over management of the Scott Theatre in Scottsburg and the Austin Theatre in Austin to her daughters and their husbands.
Hello, I’m new to the site, and I wanted to take a small poll to see if there are members who would like to see something other than music at the theatre?
When is Mindy Harvey to play again at your Venue. Mindy is from Wallace, Indiana and I liked her the last time she sang at your Theater. Thanking youi in advance for your efforts.
Sincerely;
John Kilgore Sr.
