Sergeants 3 is playing at the Pix, starring, it appears, the entire Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop.
A Closer Look: Pantages blade sign on the right. On the left: Eddie's Food Cocktails, a "Hotel" blade sign (don't recall a Hotel there...) ...and a yellow and green sign that says "Blue Chip Stamps." Maybe it's blue, not green? Also a row of those Hollywood street lamps with orange stars on them.

I saw "Oceans 11" at the Pix in 1960 and "Sergeants 3" at the Pix in 1962. Next year, I saw "4 for Texas" at the Pix. Then, in 1964, I saw "Robin and the 7 Hoods" at the Hollywood. "Cannonball Run II" came out in 1984, but I first saw it on TV. So much for the Rat Pack movies.
I also remember standing in line behind Billy De Wolfe at the Blue Chip Stamp redemption center.
