That's Charlie Bell on the right but I'm not sure who he's standing with.



Professor Paul Wenzel



Not sure

Hey Pat!
Could that mystery clown be Frank "Dutch" Luley?

Sandy,
Fank "Dutch" Luley he did burlesque with Edmond Hayes,...
Edmond Hayes had created a character he called "Bozo" and Luley portrayed this character (others did as well with Hayes)
I have a photo found in an old issue of White Tops Vol # 26, Issue # 3, 1953. I will try to dig it out and send it to Pat.

I think the clown may be Jackie LeClaires father.
