AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Two letters, one from Hugh D. McIntosh, Governing Director of Tivoli Theatres Ltd (q.v.), and the other from Martin C. Brennan, owner and publisher of Australian Variety (q.v.) regarding the cancelling of legal action by McIntosh against Brennan. A statement from McIntosh accepting Brennan's disclaimer was also published.

The situation initially came about after McIntosh's financial stability was question in the 29 October 1915 issue of the American Billboard magazine. McIntosh believed that Brennan was behind the article, and instigated the legal action. His decision to halt the action was made after Brennan publicly denied having anything to do with the article and further claimed that as far as he was aware the statements in question were untrue.

Notes

  • Both letters (dated 23 February 1916) and McInitosh's statement were reprinted in the April issue of the Theatre Magazine (q.v., p33).
