Who's who in Bill's zoo no. 1

In a circus scene, Chicago Mayor William Thompson leans over a podium (Big Bill's Circus) announcing lion tamer "U.J. 'Sport' Herrmann." To the left, Urbine J. Herrmann, dressed in animal skin, flexes his biceps in front of a cage with a lion (British lion). A crowd of people has gathered, including a line of police officers holding megaphones.
