The buildings seem familiar. Could they have been on the north side of Wilshire across the street from the Wiltern Theater? The lattice work seems quite similar, but the buildings and businesses seem different.
1932 Martha Washington Candies ???

The General Electric showroom was on the northeast corner of Wilshire & Western for several years before being replaced by Owl Drug (3785 Wilshire). Martha Washington Candies was a national chain; this store was at 3783 Wilshire. The billboard structure appears to have been changed sometimes after the pic above.

I can't imagine that we haven't seen this shot over the opening of Warner's Western/Wiltern theater with a structure over Wilshire and a view of the billboard atop the GE/Owl building.
