The photo was taken in 1981 by Grant Rusk, it's titled "4th St., Los Angeles".....clearly the billboard had not survived from 1936 when the picture was released (it's not a location where a billboard would have been feasible anyway) so I figured it had to be for a film shoot...I ran "Love Before Breakfast" on IMDB, scrolled down to the "movie connections" tab, found this:

Pennies from Heaven (1981)billboard shown. 

Good detective work. I used to drive by that billboard frequently when working. The film crew had also taken over the gas station up the street and recreated a 1930s scene with cars and extras milling around. It was like stepping back in time a few minutes every day.
