John "Smiley" Daly from the program of the 1971 Ararat Shrine Circus in Kansas City MO.
Smiley a few years later (with a look that's a few years ahead of it's time) at Circus America with John McKay
Smiley's makeup and costume here remind me of Mike Smith, one of my Clown College instructors and a very funny person.
