About Hugh D. McIntosh
- Hugh Donald "Huge Deal" McIntosh (10 September 1876 – 2 February 1942) was an Australian show-business entrepreneur born to parents of Scottish and Irish origin and modest means in Sydney's Surry Hills, then a ramshackle suburb with a reputation for crime and vice among the largely Irish immigrant population.
- His policeman father Hugh Fraser McIntosh died when he was four.According to an obituary, he was educated at Marist Brothers College, St Marys Sydney.
- but in an interview for Triad (a show-business periodical) in 1925, he gave a more colourful account, claiming to have run away to Adelaide as a silversmith's assistant at the age of seven, to have worked for BHP at Broken Hill at nine, then a variety of occupations culminating in working for a surgeon at twelve.
- Certainly by seventeen he was a chorus boy in a Maggie Moore pantomime Sinbad the Sailor in Melbourne.
