Auction History Result 5a0185 AMBROSE'S RAPID RISE 1sh 1916 art of Tom Kennedy threatening to muzzle Mack Swain, ultra rare! Date Sold 7/12/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28 1/4" x 40 1/4" [72 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Ambrose's Rapid Rise, the 1916 Fred Hibbard silent cowboy western comedy short (produced by Mac Sennett) starring Mack Swain (in the title role as Ambrose), Louella Maxam, Tom Kennedy, and Bob Kortman. Note that Mack Swain originated the character of "Ambrose" while making movies for Mack Sennett (he had started working for Sennett in 1913), and several of them co-starred Chester Conklin as "Walrus" (named for his great mustache). Swain later took the Ambrose character to the L-KO Kompany, but he is certainly best remembered for his films with Charlie Chaplin, especially Chaplin's 1925 movie "The Gold Rush".
