The original owner of The Hurricane, Bert Rovere, was a fascinating character from Southern California, an all-around renaissance man. A baritone opera singer, he opened the Paris Inn (noted on the back of Dusty's menu) on New Year's Eve in 1924, a place that has a very colourful history unto itself. Bert passed away in the late '50s.

Thanks for that bit of history.

Bert apparently loved his nudes, here is a photo folder from the Paris Inn.
