The last address is just north of Santa Monica Boulevard. A year later, they were listed as Freezer Sweet Shops at 751 S Alvarado, 3475 Beverly Boulevard, 1881 Colorado Boulevard, 6244 Pasadena Avenue, 3641 W Pico, 7435 Sunset Boulevard, 3801 W Washington Boulevard, 402 S Western Avenue and 1124 N Vine.

I had a look at some old aerials for the Freezer locations that HossC found in the city directories.


The one that fits with the screengrab from the movie is 751½ South Alvarado Street.


This is how it lines up on a 1928 aerial. The Freezer stand as we see in the screengrab was essentially plonked in the front lawn of 751.

The "Harry's Battery & Ignition" service in the screengrab is this one.

Here's 751 somewhat clearer three years later with where the Freezer would have stood dotted red.
