This detail from the matchbook DC posted is actually the Hurricane's neon sign: The layout is slightly reversed when approaching from the direction from the shot you posted. I've actually been researching and writing about the International Settlement for a couple of years now (eventually I'll post some of that here) - so far, this is the best shot I've been able to find of The Hurricane's sign, at the bottom: ...which matches (heh) the matchbook image. So many pics during this era were taken from the ends of the street that it's extremely difficult to find good close-ups of the centre of the block.
