Lost: A Cook (1917)

Comedy

Ambrose (Mack Swain) is a clumsy, aspiring cook who finds himself in over his head when he is hired to work in a busy household or restaurant. Most of the humor stems from Ambrose’s spectacular incompetence in the kitchen. He misinterprets simple instructions, leads a series of messy kitchen disasters, and accidentally destroys various household items while attempting to prepare a meal. The situation typically escalates into a frantic "Keystone-style" chase or a massive physical confrontation involving food, dishes, and outraged employers or customers.

Directed by: Fred Hibbard

Cast: Mack Swain, Ethel Teare, Juanita Hansen, Ben Turpin, Malcolm St. Clair, Louise Fazenda, Caroline Rankin, Cliff Bowes
