The Vanishing of Ambrose Small
On the 2nd of December 1919, Canadian theatre magnate Ambrose Small vanished without a trace, leaving behind a fortune, a web of suspicion, and one of Canada's most perplexing unsolved mysteries.
Just a day earlier, Small had finalised the sale of his theatre empire for $1.7 million—a staggering sum at the time. Then, he simply disappeared. Was he the victim of foul play, a calculated escape, or something more sinister? From Toronto's Grand Opera House to whispers of gambling debts, mistresses, and jealous rivals, this case reads like a mystery novel but remains eerily real.
Join me as we unravel the events surrounding Ambrose Small's disappearance, explore the key players in his life, and dive into the lingering theories that have captivated historians and true crime enthusiasts for over a century. In this episode, we examine the rise of Ontario’s early 20th-century theatre scene, the media frenzy that followed Small's vanishing, and the baffling lack of evidence that continues to confound investigators.
