  Morehouse clearly toured the country over several years. To confirm that this is in the Washington DC area, I followed up the labels on the mike. According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WJSV "WJSV originally came on the air in 1926 as WTRC in Brooklyn, New York then was moved to Arlington, Virginia, the following year and became WJSV in 1928. CBS bought the station from the previous owner in 1931, officially moved the station to Washington, D.C., although the transmitter site remained in Virginia. CBS made WJSV its affiliate in the nation's capital." This looks to be in a hotel.
