the age of Is to that of %, she was con
sldered as the best Interpreter of the
standard juvenile tragic and dramatic
roles She was first married 70 DIR. Hayne

ing TO the noted South Carolina fam
ily OF rthe same name. Her married
life was not ahappy one, and. indeed.
the ways of Julia Deans private and
social career were neither pleasant nor
smooth. Although, during the course
of her professional life, she acquired
sufficient means to have made up half
a dozen fortunes, there is every reason
to believe that she was very poor at the
time of her death. Her talents we're
used by others; her money was squan-
dered by others, and a large portion of
her existence was rendered unhappy by
others
Some two years ago, Julia Dean, then
playing a series of engagements in
Utah and the extreme west, obtained
divorce from DIR. Hayne, marrying a
Mr.. Cooper. Her engagements In the
west were very successful; but, toward
the end of her life, time care, aud
trouble had made sad inroads upon
her dramatic power. There
are however, many who will read
this article and remember her as the
most charming Julia in ''The Huneh-
back" Blanca in .'Fazio," Pauline in
''The Lady of Lyons" they have ever
seen. In all characters susceptible of
trne womanly feeling and real sym
pathy, Julia Dean was one of the most
successful actresses that the American
ttage ever produced.
