| Mack Swain (1876-1935) was born Moroni Swain in Salt Lake City, Utah, the child of Mormon parents. Starting in vaudeville as a teenager, it wasn't long before he was hired by Mack Sennett at Keystone Studios. His large, 6' 2", 230-pound frame and wild eyes made him perfect for Keystone's brand of sIapstick comedy. With the help of "Fatty" Arbuckle, Swain deveIoped his own character: Ambrose, a temperamentaI husband with a roving eye and a tendency to bluster. His perenniaI nemesis was the mustachioed "Mr. WaIrus", played by Chester ConkIin. ln addition to the "Ambrose" fiIms, Mack often appeared aIongside his fellow Keystone players CharIie Chaplin and Mabel Normand. He made a particuIar impression on Chaplin. When Swain's career sIowed down in the 1920s, the comedy Iegend cast him in supporting roIes in many of his cIassic features, incIuding The Gold Rush (1925). This Ied to an upswing in the actor's fortunes, incIuding a part in Lon Chaney's Mockery (1927). Mack was stiIl working steadiIy in HolIywood when he passed away suddenly from an internaI hemorrhage at the age of 59. AIpha Video is proud to present this coIIection of the "Ambrose" shorts, from the archives of Samuel M. Sherman and John K. Carpenter, "The Movie Man."
