  Here's a postcard from about the same time that also shows the interior.

  by Boston Public Library   The Tichnor Brothers Collection (postcard) c.1940

  
  A couple of newspaper ads for Betty's in the 1950's:
              Betty's Restaurant • Christmas Dinner Ad  •  1952
  
  
      Ad for Betty's Lobo Lounge • Miami Daily News • Feb. 4, 1957
  
  
  The American Legion held their 42nd National Convention in Miami Beach in October, 1960. Their official program had reviews of suggested restaurants and had this to say about Betty's:

  "Betty's Restaurant, 1440 Biscayne Boulevard, is
  famed for her well planned, medium-priced meals
  and the Lobo Lounge is quite the gay spot at
  night."
