Strand Theater.
Taken in the fall of 1935, while no marquee is present in the image, I would imagine that the theater be nearby. I am also not sure which Strand Theater this was advertised for, as there were two distinct ones in Brooklyn, NY and Lakewood, NJ.
Personally, I would imagine this photo was taken in Brooklyn. If you have any information regarding this photograph (or any), please email me.
