| "Madame
Rejane was the essence of French vivacity and animated expression appeared to
be concentrated in Madame Rejane's acting, and made her unrivaled in the parts
which she had made her own."
"Madame
Rejane, French actress, was born in Paris, the daughter of an actor . She
was a pupil of Regnier at the Conservatoire, and took the second prize for comedy
in 1874 . Her debut was made the next year, during which she played attractively
a number of light—especially soubrette—parts . Her first great success was in
Meilhac's Ma camarade (1883), and she soon became known as an emotional actress
of rare gifts. In 1892 she married M . Porel, the director of the theatre, but
the marriage was dissolved in 1905 . Her performances in Madame Sans Gene (1893)
made her as well known in England and America as in Paris, and in later years
she appeared in characteristic parts in both countries, being particularly successful
in Zaza and La Passerelle . She opened the Theatre Rejane in Paris in 1906 . ."

"Published by Lefevre-Utile and Octave Beauchamp,
Paris, and distributed by G. de Malherbe, containing portraits, biographies, signed
testimonials and some of Cappiello's finest caricatures of contemporary celebrities.
You might be asking yourself just what do Sarah Bernhardt, Anatole France, Rejane,
Granier, Massenet, Bartholdi and the Queen of Madagascar have in common? The answer
is quite simple: They all love Lefevre-Utile biscuits, of course" (Rennert,
