Here we have a photo from the Cole Bros. alley in what appears to be the early to mid-40s. Those I can identify from left to right are Freddie Freeman, Horace Laird, Dick "Roscoe" Lewis down front in his very Lou Jacobs inspired makeup and Boss Clown Otto Griebling (sans any nose putty) on the right.

I'm pretty sure Dick Lewis' nickname was "Rocko", as I remember Dick had been a football player, (in high school, or collage, and never stopped living that). He was probably the biggest man to ever do a Table Rock, and suffered a heart attack during the act.
I'm pretty sure the Whiteface Clown with the ruffle collar in the back center is Tommy Whiteside.
