Jane
Hading (1859-1934), French actress, whose real name was Jeanne Alfredine Trefouret,
was born in Marseilles, where her father was an actor at the Gymnase. She was
trained at the local Conservatoire and was engaged in 1873 for the theatre at
Algiers, and afterwards for the Khedivial theatre at Cairo. Expectations had been
raised by her voice, and when she returned to Marseilles she sang in operetta,
besides acting in Ruy Blas. Her Paris debut was in La Chaste Suzanne at the Palais
Royal, and she was again heard in operetta at the Renaissance. In 1883 she had
a great success at the Gymnase in Le Maitre de forges. In 1884 she married Victor
Koning (1842-1894), the manager of that theatre, but divorced him in 1887. In
1888 she toured America with Coquelin, and on her return
helped to give success to Lavedan's Prince d'Aurec, at the Vaudeville. Her reputation
as one of the leading actresses of the day was now established not only in France
but in America and England. (www.1911encyclopedia.org/Jane_Hading)
"Les
Contemporains Celebres, was published by Lefrevre-Utile (famed Biscuit producer)
containing portraits...some of Cappiello's finest caricatures of contemporary
celebrities" (Rennert, PAI-XXXVI, 584)
"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,
PAI-XL, 252)
