Judging by the microphone I'd say this is from Betty White's radio days. The location isn't mentioned but it sure looks like Los Angeles.

This is an RCA 44 ribbon microphone. It appeared in the early 1930s and began to disappear by the mid 1950s. Today audio engineers are crazy about it but they aren't built since the 1950s. They are very expensive second-hand.
