I think it is Billy Barty - a motion picture actor.

I third the vote, Billy Barty.

By the way, my best to Messrs Naughton and Lee, long time no see.

It's Mr. Barty, a very personable gentleman. About twice a year, he would spend whole afternoons at Jungleland, visiting with us and taking keen interest in our acts. He founded the advocacy group Little People of America, and later added the Billy Barty Foundation. He was highly respected as an actor, and worked up until just days before his death of heart failure, in 2000, at age 76.
