These are not actually N245's but there is no separate classification for the Dukes Cigarette cards. Since they are the same size as the Sweet Caporal and have the exact same look on the photo so most classify them as N245's.

Beatrice Cameron (born Susan Hegeman, 1868 in Troy, New York – July 12, 1940) was an American stage actress. She was the leading lady for the company of actor Richard Mansfield, whom she married in 1892. She retired from acting in 1898. Cameron's first acting experience was in The Midnight Marriage with Cora Urquhart Brown-Potter at the Madison Square Theatre on Broadway. She was a spectator at a rehearsal when a member of the cast in a minor role fell ill. She volunteered to take over the part, learning both lines and dance steps by the following evening. After performing with the company of Robert B. Mantell, in 1886 she joined the company of Richard Mansfield. Her first role with the company was in the comedy Prince Karl. In 1887 she took the part of Agnes Carew in the Broadway production of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a role that she would reprise in London and many other cities. While in London, she first appeared in Lesbia and Richard III. Upon returning to the United States, she became the first actress to portray Nora in A Doll's House on Broadway, when Henrik Ibsen's controversial play opened at Palmer's Theatre in December 1889. Cameron performed in 13 other plays with Mansfield's company. She officially retired from acting on February 12, 1898, following a performance at the Grand Opera House in Chicago. She did appear once post-retirement, in a final performance as Raina in George Bernard Shaw's play Arms and the Man, at the Garden Theatre on January 8, 1900.
