An often reprinted picture but a great one nonetheless, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Clown Alley back in the "Golden Age". Pictured among the stars we see Jack Le Clair, Charlie Bell, Gijon Polidor, Felix Adler and Chesty Mortimer and Paul Wentzel poking their heads up in the back.If you look between Chesty and Felix there are two men; one a whiteface, the other a man without makeup but wearing an auguste-fleshed bald top wig with yak hair out the sides. This may be Lou Jacobs but it's hard to tell as he's so far away from the camera.
