| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 285: A long line awaited a free movie at Langdon Hall, and Bob Gamble took a photograph of it for the 1984 Glomerata. Langdon's movie tradition began in 1912, with students and townspeople, paying five to ten cents to attend the only picture show in town. In the early years, the silent movies were accompanied by a player piano witha special roll for each reel. ... Actor Charles Coburn and the Coburn players performed once a year on stage in Samford Park, a 1919 API graduate recalled. Eventually, though, Langdon's auditorium was no longer used, and in 2010-11, it was remodeled into a large lecture-based classroom. Photo source: Glomerata, Auburn University Archives.
