I walked all of the streets in that area, enlargements of the original photo in hand, hoping to find just one -- without success. Maybe someone else can identify one or two that survive.

How about these:
In the center, silhouetted against the side of Little Joe's is the distinctively Chinese-styled roof of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, at 925 N. Broadway - red roof still very visible in your modern pics.
In the lower left corner of the image are 3 or 4 tiers of the 5-tiered pagoda entrance of The Golden Pagoda, which is now Hop Louie.
