last week the Frontier has this to say
of a well known and admired iady in
Valentine
The leading lady was our own Tess
whose faultless production of the part
of Pauline drew forth unbounded
admiration Though Miss OSuilivans
histrionic talent is well known to the
people of ONeill yet her perfect im
personation of the demented Pauline
shows her to possess a high order of
dramatic genius Should she see fit to
cultivate her unquestioned talent we
pause not to predict for her a career as
famous if not so tragic as that of her
namesake of the DUrbervilles
