Hmmm. No idea who these gentlemen are but the background looks very similar to Griffith Park in Los Angeles... right down to the light pole.
I have a few original photos very similar to this one. The ones I have are of Packard man and KFI radio station owner, Earle C. Anthony. In the pics he is standing with a similar Packard and similar radio set, checking on the signal broadcast from KFI in Los Angeles. Anthony used to travel all over back in the 1920s and 1930s and listen to his radio station's broadcasts since it had clear channel FCC status. He listened in from Packard automobiles, from his private train car and from his yacht, which he sailed from L.A. to Hawaii and Tahiti.
While neither of the men in this photo appear to be Mr. Anthony, I can also say that Anthony was also a huge baseball fan and was largely responsible for bringing the Dodger baseball team from Brooklyn to Los Angeles. At least one member of the family that owned the team eventually ended up on the board of Earle C. Anthony, Incorporated.
