    It’s Barry not Parry

      Pat – That’s what I thought when deciphering it, but upon researching “Barry” there are no references, while “Parry” was a well known cigar that was smoked by celebrities. Find me a Barry reference!

    Pat- Upon looking further, I found Katy Barry and Henri Barry brands. Do you know which one?

    The ad reads :BARRY AT THE CLIMAX 10 [cent] CIGAR

    If you search for “California First Theater” at the following website http://www.caviews.com/
    you will see a picture of the First Theater, complete with advertisement, circa 1905.
