| Description: | Ceremonies; funerals. Funeral procession of Fernande Gustave Gaston Labori; a French lawyer who served as defense counsel for Alfred Dreyfus; in the controversial trial and re-trials in France. Elaborate and traditional procession. Horse-drawn hearse covered completely in roses. Two dignitaries wearing gold medallions; followed by a large group of men in long dark robes and kepi (pillbox) type hats; here and there a few men in regular clothes. (These men may have something to do with the legal profession or if they may be some branch of rabbis or other Jews.) Then official mourners all in black with long black veils over their faces and hanging down; black hats on top of those. More people follow including some French Army. Ends with CU of man wearing suit & tie -- he takes a cigarette case out of his pocket and gets out a cigarette Maitre Labori also defended other notables including Victor Hugo and Mme Caillaux. | |
