== Family and early career ==
McIntyre was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin and began working at a young age to support his widowed mother.〔McIntyre at age 13 is described as an "actor in travelling theatre" in ''1870 US Federal Census'', Kenosha Ward 1, Kenosha, Wisconsin, Roll M593_1770, p. 201, document available to subscribers at http://www.ancestry.com.〕 He showed an early aptitude for dancing and acting. McIntyre sold candy on trains and when "the passengers were in danger of being bored Jim would get out in the aisles and entertain them with his clever acting." He learned the dance form known as clogging, which is part of the tap dance style. In his early teens he was keen on joining the circus troupes that passed through Kenosha. His mother initially prevented him from doing so. In 1870 he did join the McKenzie circus and then in 1871 joined the Burton and Ridgeway minstrels and toured the South and Western states for a year. Later he performed with the Katie Putnam Troupe, and toured with the Great Transatlantic circus in 1873.〔See entry ("James McIntyre" ) in ''Olympians of the Sawdust Circle'', Circus Historical Society.〕
He married Emma Maude Young (1862–1935). She was a dancer and balladeer known by the stage names of "Maude Clifford", and "Maud Clifton" and she performed as part of the Katie Putnam Troupe.〔 Although they had no natural born children of their own they did adopt a daughter Maud Ainsworth Young (1892–1966).〔Maud McIntyre aged 17 is described as "adopted daughter" in ''1910 US Federal Census'', Brooklyn Ward 32, Kings County, New York, Roll: T624_985, p9B, Enumeration District 1000, available to subscribers at http://www.ancestry.com.〕 She was the biological daughter of Emma's older sister Annie Young (1860–1906) and Emma's brother-in-law Joseph Charles Ainsworth.〔Robert L. Brown and Rosemary Brown, ''They Lie in Wait To Deceive'', Volume 3, Mesa, Arizona: Brownsworth Publishing, 1986, pp. 86–87.〕 In adult life Maud Ainsworth McIntyre became the wife of the Brooklyn criminal trial lawyer and Kings County judge George Washington Martin II (1876–1948).〔"Mr McIntyre left no close relatives. Chief mourner was an adopted daughter, Mrs Maud Martin wife of County Judge George W. Martin of Brooklyn" in "Old Stage Friends at M'Intyre Rites" ''New York Times'', August 21, 1937, p. 15.〕 Emma sometimes assisted her husband in negotiating theatre contracts.〔For example see the letter dated September 14, 1898 from M. Shea to Maude McIntyre concerning a contract for 1 week's performances at Shea's Garden Theatre. Letter held in Box 4 Theatre Correspondence, (McIntyre and Heath Archive 1878–1936'' ), at Charles Deering McCormick Library, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois.〕 Emma wrote theatrical scripts using the pseudonym Emily Louise Young, and these included ''The Rag Time Opera of Trial Marriage'' (1916),〔See Box 6 item F.10 "the rag Time Opera of Trial Marriage" "A Merry Musical Melange" 1916 by Emily Louise Young, 80 pp. in (McIntyre and Heath Archive 1878–1936'' ), at Charles Deering McCormick Library, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois〕 and she co-wrote ''Red Pepper'' and ''Hello, Alexander''.〔See letter dated December 7, 1911, F51 in Box 4 "Theatre Correspondence" from Edgar Smith and Emily Young co-authors of play "Red Pepper" relinquishing rights to McIntyre and Heath in (McIntyre and Heath Archive 1878–1936'' ), at Charles Deering McCormick Library, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois〕
In his peak years as a star performer he gave an interview with the ''New York Times'' in which he claimed to have been responsible for introducing to vaudeville the Buck and Wing style of dance that is one form of tap dance.
