I think this is 1953.

George "Red" White (tall man in front center) had the sideshow over there a couple of years and then after some time with Foley & Burke, came back in the Beatty-Cole era.

To the left of Red is Freddie "Manipo" Harris who did punch and magic and behind Freddie is Stanislaus Berent "Sealo" who was with the Beatty sidehshow for years.

Sealo was a delightful and colorful gentleman, whose hands, if someone doesn't know, grew directly from his shoulders,just beyond the wrists, which gave them remarkable mobility. He was cheerful and kept Cookhouse in stitches with his ribald observations. Hell of a guy.
