The only information included with the photograph was "King Kong set, 1933"

I'm guessing this was taken at RKO.

(although they filmed the island scene with the giant wall in Culver City)

I was just looking at a similar image.

The King Kong bust that sat in front of Graumann’s Chinese Theater is pictured during the premiere of the film King Kong (1933). It looks like the director/ producer Merian C. Cooper is the person who is posing for this picture. https://onset.shotonwhat.com/gallery...ong/?tag=1544#
At least one source claims that the Kong-on-Wheels appeared at Graumans.

This pic in front of the Fox Pomona Theater supports the idea that Kong (or his miniature) got around.
