Since it's in an ad and not an article, wouldn't that be assumed to be an accurate address? There isn't any date I can find for this ad, is it possible after the explosion it moved east down the street before moving again to Hollywood?

I've also now located this ad on J.H. Graham's website.

The Russian Eagle Cafe's first location was
8648 Sunset Blvd. The timeline there maybe sometime circa 1925 until the fire and explosion in June of 1928.
I cannot find any solid details on it's operation or any locations in the years 1929-32.
Theodore Lodijensky appears to have been more involved in acting during those years and may have given the Russian Eagle a break.
In 1933 it begins a two year stint as an alfresco dining experience in a date palm grove to the rear of the Hollywood Plaza Hotel at
1633–37 N. Vine St.

On Halloween 1935 it opened it's doors as the Russian Eagle Supper Club at the new and final location of
8428 Sunset Blvd.

It's tenure there was brief enough and it was gone sometime in late summer of 1936.
Major General Theodore A. Lodijensky, whose baby it was, had had enough and left Hollywood to head back east after sixteen years.
