The clown on the left is Ed McMahon.

It's amazing to think that he would have looked too amateurish in that get-up for any American show in the 1950s but would look right at home with Slava and his Russian clowns off-Broadway or on Cirque today.

Pat Cashin,
You are dead on. Who could have know that the Ringling plaster(or what ever the material is) clown death mask's could hold such artistic and historical value.
