Jane Hading

Jeanne-Alfrédine Tréfouret[1] (25 November 1859 – 28 February 1941),[2] professionally known as Jane Hading, was a French actress.

Expectations had been raised by her voice, and when she returned to Marseille she sang in operetta, besides acting in Ruy Blas.

[3] She first appeared in Paris in 1879 in La chaste Suzanne at the Palais Royal, and she was again heard in operetta at the Renaissance.

She helped to give success to Henri Lavedan's Le Prince d'Aurec at the Vaudeville in 1892, and afterwards joined the Comédie Française.

Her later repertoire included Le Demi-monde, Alfred Capus's La Châtelaine, Charles Maurice Donnay's Retour de Jerusalem, La Princesse Georges by Alexandre Dumas, fils, and Émile Bergerat's Plus que reine.
