And in a few short years no more double vision?

Source dates this image to 1940. Autos appear to be from much earlier date. Presently unable to peg date to Musical Premier. Anyone have tickets?

Fri. May 26th, as on the banner, fell in 1933 and 1939. No cars present resemble 1939 models so I would venture to say it is 1933. The 26th fell on Sun. in 1940.
