There exists a variant of the same dimensions without the letters. "Between 1894 and 1905, Réjane undertook major tours in France, Europe, and America, yet she continued to create and perform new plays at the Vaudeville. In 1902, she starred in La Passerelle, Le Masque by Henry Bataille, and Le Joug by Albert Guinon. In the poster announcing her return to the Vaudeville after a tour, Cappiello depicts her with a suitcase in hand, symbolizing her return to Paris as well as the character of Jacqueline, a young girl arriving in Le Havre. According to critics, it is Réjane whom the audience comes to applaud, and success follows every play she performs. 'If La Passerelle did not have the incomparable Mme Réjane as its performer, I do not believe it would achieve long-lasting success. The play does not hold up, as they say... Never has Mme Réjane displayed more flexibility, lively cheerfulness, or elegant grace... she is absolutely perfect.' — Hippolyte Lemaire, Le Monde Illustré, February 8, 1902. Cappiello’s Réjane matches this glowing portrait; she is remarkably vibrant. In what is ultimately just an enlarged caricature—yet one crafted with exemplary balance and restraint—he has captured the vitality and charm of the great actress. In 'Théâtre,' a plate is dedicated to the various aspects of Réjane’s role in this play, the first of the caricatures being none other than the drawing used for the poster, which Cappiello refined. The description of Réjane’s costume, created by Doucet and detailed in 'La Mode Artistique' of March 1902, matches perfectly—Cappiello has rendered every detail with great accuracy."
