Ambrose Small

The 1910's missing millionaire.

Ambrose Small, a wealthy and flamboyant Toronto theater magnate, vanished without a trace after finalizing the sale of his chain of playhouses for over a million dollars. On the evening of his disappearance, he left his office with the proceeds secured in trust and was never seen again. Despite massive public attention and a lengthy investigation, no body, weapon, or clear suspect was ever found. Whispers of greed, betrayal, and double lives surrounded the case—his wife, his secretary, and business associates all came under suspicion. Decades later, the mystery of what happened to Ambrose Small remains one of Canada’s most enduring unsolved disappearances, blurring the line between scandal and legend.
