Richard Reynolds says - -

Those are gelada baboons on the ends with a Hamadryas in the middle. The geladas (from Ethiopia) are rarer than the mandrills (from west Africa). Carmen's were the only geladas ever on a cirus as far as I know.

In addition to the gelada baboons Carmen also had drills in her act. In this country drills are on display at Zoo Atlanta and just a few other institutions.
Four species of baboons in one display -- probably a larger variety of baboons than any zoo in the country.
