    These photos are probably the coffin being taken into and out of St. Patrick's Cathedral. The pallbearers were Pasquale Amato, Giuseppe de Luca, Leon Rothier, Antonio Scotti, Francesco Romei, Giulio Setti, Gennaro Papi, Fernando Carpi, Giulio Crimi, F.C. Coppicus, G. Viafora, and Dr. H.H Curtis.

    These were mostly fellow Italian opera singers of the day, many pictured elsewhere in the Bain photos.

    Looks like part of the set taken at tenor Luca Botta's funeral on Oct. 3, 1917. Giulio Gatti-Casazza ( 1869 – 1940) was general manager of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City (1908-1935).

    See Gatti - Casazza (LOC)

    Alfred Frederick Seligsberg (1869-1933) was legal counsel to the Met. Picasso drew him, with Diaghilev, in 1917:
