I think Leon Gombert is the Whiteface... He has worked with Martin, Gustave Sosman, Victor and Toto Chabri.

The photo has them named Leon French, Victor French, and Alice French, but that could be because the act is called Les French, and with the first names provided, the surname French was "assumed". Maybe that helps?

Perhaps this is Doctor Jimmy Stuart hiding out as a clown in the Circus.

one of them always wore a very old plaine back suite and a black borsalino hat.
