I would say this might be a 1943 photo as the Christmas decorations are down and the film played until March. However if the stage show changed before Jan 1st as sometimes happened back then it might still be'42. I’m sure CC knows when it changed from the Christmas to a more secular show. In LeRoy’s autobio he was told by the Hall the film could have played another 11 weeks there but MGM wanted to get it into the nabes.
Vindanpar is correct. Marquees were draped with Christmas wreaths from opening on December 17th, 1942, and décor was retained into 1943, when this photo must have been taken. A more precise date would depend on when the stage revue was modified by removing the Christmas elements.
