According to the L.A. Times, during World War II Mr. Langton was granted conscientious objector status and spent time as an actor-manager of the Travelling Repertory Theater, staging works in munitions factories and British army camps in Europe. His wife, Louise Soelberg, was a ballerina and she choreographed dances for several of these stagings. Their marriage ended in an amicable divorce. Mr. Langton is survived by his companion, actress Judith Searle.
