Jane Thylda (1869–1935) was the stage name of Jeanne Tricaud, a French princess, actress, mime artist, and music hall entertainer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

[1] Thylda's acting career began with comedy roles in Bordeaux, including L'Amant de sa femme by Aurélien Scholl on December 30, 1890, and the part of Clo-Clo in Albin Valabrègue and Pierre Decourcelle's play of the same name in 1892 at the Théâtre des Arts.

[3] In 1898, Thylda abandoned traditional theater for the music hall circuit, being hired at the Olympia where she debuted in the ballet-pantomime Vision by Roger-Milès and Missa, before being engaged at the famous Folies Bergère.

At the Folies Bergère, Thylda performed in such daring productions as The Princess at the Sabbath (January 1899), The Great Courtesans (May 1899), Prince Desire (November 1899), and Cythera (April 1900).

[4] One of Thylda's high-profile collaborations was co-starring with the celebrated demimondaine Liane de Pougy in the Olympia production of Watteau from October 8 to December 22, 1900, based on the pantomime by Jean Lorrain.
