This is taken from a Edward J. Kelty photo of the clowns of the Sells-Floto Circus in South Ozone Park, June 6th, 1932. If I had to take a guess, I'd say that the tall whiteface in the center is Chester "Bobo" Barnett. The person to his left and the other person to the far left of that row look to be the Hanlon brothers. Two to the right of Bobo is Otto Griebling. At the far right of that row is a clown who turns up in many Ringling photos of that era (sometimes wearing chicken feet) but I don't have his name.
