Herman Rosenthal, Gambler
Evidently, Herman Rosenthal was a gambler. It was the only caption on this photo: Funeral of Herman Rosenthal, a gambler.
But there's more: Herman Rosenthal was murdered, allegedly by the Lenox Avenue Gang at the behest of NYPD Lieutenant Charles Becker. The execution of 4 leaders of the gang lead to their disbandment. (Herman Rosenthal was alleged to be a police informant.)
It was colorful (or perhaps the same?) on the East Side of New York in 1912).
