Here's a closer look:
Any idea where this officers club was located?

E_R, the second photo above makes me think this location is where the Clover Club was on Sunset Blvd.
The first below looking down to Sunset looks like the "Officer's Club" photo.

And this souvenir photo cover looks like the streamline building's design.

I don't recall reading anything about it being an offcier's club, though.

In some further research,
J.H. Graham's website has all the ins & outs of this address with it's gambling raids, trouble with the law, going in and out of business and name changes and such. The last line of the article says, "On October 27, 1950, it was announced that it would become the new home of the Army & Navy Officer’s Club, which still occupied the building when it burned down, January 28, 1952."
So the scrapbook photos were taken less than a year before the place burned down.
L.A. Times, January, 1952.
