Martin, no, this photo has not been posted before! On Dec. 3rd I did a post about the Brown Derby where I wrote:
I have been looking for a LIFE magazine photo that I saw once (I remember it said LIFE in the corner) that was taken on the sidewalk outside of the Brown Derby at night, close, and showing from the sidewalk angle both the Brown Derby neon and the Bamboo Room neon. What was interesting to me that I did not know...if you look in the arch of the entrance in the above photo, you see white squares. Those are all lights that lit up the arch and are beautifully visible in that photo. Not sure why I can't find it.
This is the photo, you found it! Thanks for posting it!
I went back to my original post and inserted this photo into it:
