Personal life
Archibald "Archie" Job Stout was born in Renwick, Iowa, to Frank and Mary Stout on March 30, 1886.
He had one younger sister, Bessie A. Stout, who was born in 1887.
Archie Stout was married three times. First, to Ms. Laura Grace Fuller. The couple had one son together, Junius "Junior" Stout on April 16, 1910, in San Diego, California.
[Family Tree for Archibald "Archie" J. Sout. ''Ancestry Library'', Ancestry, ancestrylibrary.com/tree/72691295/person/40546544441/facts.] Stout and Fuller divorced, and Archie would go on to marry Evelyn M. Stout during much of the 1920s.
However, this marriage did not last, and the couple divorced.
By the 1930s, Archie had met and wed Bernice Viola Weston.
She was fourteen years younger than Stout, but the two remained married until Archie's death in 1973.
Career
From an early age, Archie Stout knew he wanted to travel, and so he sought work that catered to this desires. He worked in hotel management in Japan and Honolulu, and in 1909, he was chosen to be "secretary to the commission in charge of the Hawaiian exhibit at the American Yukon Expedition".
[Landesman, Fred. ''The John Wayne Filmography''. McFarland, 2004.] Archie then moved on to Los Angeles to try his hand at working in real estate, but this venture did not last long, and instead he began to work as a forest ranger.
In 1914,
Mack Sennett
Mack Sennett (born Michael Sinnott; January 17, 1880 – November 5, 1960) was a Canadian-American film actor, director, and producer, and studio head, known as the 'King of Comedy'.
Born in Danville, Quebec, in 1880, he started in films in the ...

, and it required a scene with a pelican "nibbling at
ouise'sposterior".
However, the state law in California required that a representative of the fish and game committee be present at all times when handling the pelican.
Archie was game warden of the fish and game commission of California at the time, and was assigned to oversee the handling of a pelican.
However, several days after the scene with the pelican, Stout continued to observe and speak to Mack Sennett and his lead cameraman,
Fred Jackman
Fred Wood Jackman Sr. (July 9, 1881 – August 27, 1959), was an American cinematographer and film director of the silent film, silent era. He worked on 58 films as a cinematographer between 1916 and 1925. He also directed eleven films betw ...
, throughout the rest of the shoot.
Jackman, taking a liking to Stout, and in need of background shots, asked if Stout would be interested in getting the shots for him.
Stout eagerly agreed, and after a brief lesson on how the camera worked, went up into the High Sierras to get the shots.
Once the film was developed, Jackman saw the potential in Stout's abilities and hired him immediately.
While Stout worked as a comedy cameraman for Sennett for several years, it was not until 1923 that he was given the chance to work branch out of comedies.
Bert Glennon
Bert Lawrence Glennon (November 19, 1893 – June 29, 1967) was an American cinematographer and film director. He directed '' Syncopation'' (1929), the first film released by RKO Radio Pictures.

'' (1923). This accomplishment led to a five-year contract with Famous Players-Lasky, and Archie said "goodbye to the film funnies".
By the 1930s, Stout was "earning a reputation for outstanding outdoor photography" and was moving between director of photography positions and second unit jobs. He would go on to develop a strong professional relationship with actor

'' (1952). Between his background with nature and his eye for exterior shots, Stout would go on to be "among the top dozen cinematographers associated with Westerns".
[Hoffmann, Henryk. ''"A" Western Filmmakers: A Biographical Dictionary''. Jefferson, McFarland, 2000. pp 227.]
In an interview, Archie said in the first eight years of his career he "roughly made 300 pictures for Mack Sennett and the Christie boys".
By the printing of the article, he would be shooting his 500th film.
Although that is a staggering number of movies for a cinematographer, especially one well into his 50s, Archie was not too impressed with the number, saying that "in the old days a one-reeler was shot in two or three days, and as soon as you finished one you started right in with another".
Unfortunately, ''
The High and the Mighty'' (Wellman, 1954) would be Stout's last film as a heart attack in 1955 would prevent him from returning to filmmaking before his death in 1973.

'' in 1945, Archie said:
"I actually believe my work with the Akeley was the father of all dolly shots, for until I made follow shots with that camera, our cameras never moved. With the introduction of camera movement, cameramen had the opportunity of improving their art. Mobility of the camera has done much for cinematography".
While this assessment is not proven, it is undeniable that Stout's exterior shots and Westerns will surely continue to impact the way filmmakers tell stories, specifically ones located in the great outdoors.
