This would be the Beatty show also. That's Lawrence Cross at L. I can't ID the others, until we see Shorty Sylvester, the midget clown at R. Shorty and his wife Peggy, who also clowned, were fixtures on the Beatty show for many seasons. Peggy was a mother-figure to the workingmen. They not only sought out her maternal counsel, they'd take part of their meager pay and sign it over to Peggy for savings accounts. Most, however, didn't heed her words of wisdom, and didn't start saving until a few paydays before closing.
