James A. Herne's two daughters are
to appear with their distinguished
father in the Forthcoming perform
ance of that great Herne play, Sag
Harbor, at the opera house next
Monday night. These two young
women have been SO much talked
about in New York and in Boston
during the extraordinarily long run
of Sag Harbor, that brief word
about each should prove interesting at
this time. Miss Julia Herne, the
elder of the two daughters, plays the
leading emotional role of Martha
Reese in Sag Harbor, though now but
10 years old. She is an extremely
beautiful young woman with wealth
of golden hair and the bluest of blue
eyes. Miss Herne has been compared
as an actress with her talented
mother, who as Katharine Cochrane,
was the original Margaret Fleming,
and not SO many years ago was con-
sidered to be one of the very best emo
tional actresses in America.
