We're at an unidentified theatre in the Charlie Chaplin short "Those Love Pangs" (Keystone, 1914). Thanks to Silent Film Detective John Bengtson for the screenshot.
The same entrance is seen as a skating rink entrance in the Chaplin film "The Rink" (Mutual, 1916). It also appears in the Mack Swain film "A Movie Star" (Keystone, 1916).
On IMDb: "Those Love Pangs"
