A CORRECTION.
There recently appeared in the Cov¬
ington News an article concerning a
distinguished Georgtan—Miss Clara de
Graffenreid, a Wesleyan College honor
graduate.
That name awakens memories in the
hearts of the few surviving women of
the sixties. She was a rare and radiant
maiden.
All written of her was true, except
the statement that there’s only one re¬
maining of the Class of 65. Others
s ill live—only a few, to remind us of
the past.
Mrs. J. W. Lee has recently convers¬

ALL-STAR CAST TO
SUPPORT DeHAVENS
IN “TWIN BEDS”
Claimed to Be Costliest Play Ever
Produced For Screen Use
.There are seveial points of unusual
interest concerning the film version
of the wholesome bedroom farce,
Beds,” which Mr. and Mrs. Carter De
Haven have trans ferred to the screen
and which comes as the latest Assoei
a ted First National attraction to the
Lyric next Monday.
In the first place, tfie play by Mar¬
garet Mayo and Salisbury Field, is
said to be one of the costliest ever pur¬
chased for screen use and a vast
amount of money has been expended
by the director in order to make the
production adequate.
In choosing the company to sup
port the DeHavens the greatest care
was used, with the result that the pro¬
duction has a very nearly all-star east.
With William Desmond in the role
of the jealous Mr. Hawkins, and Helen
Raymond, the English comedian, who
created the role of Signora Monti in
the London stage production, playing
that part, and with such favorites as
Katherine Lewis, Lottie Williams and
William J. Irving, it is no wonder the
production bids fair to fulfill all that
has been claimed for it as one of the
season’s big successes.
IT MIGHT BE WORSE.
i never knew a night so black
Right failed to follow on its track.
I never knew a storm so gray
It failed to have its charming day.
i never knew such bleak despair
That there was not a rift somewhere.
I never knew an hour so drear
1 ove could not fill it full of cheer L

Miss Isina Dooley Passes in Atlanta
After Lingering IIness.
Miss Isma Dooly, for twenty-eight
years connected with the woman’s de¬
partment of The Constitution and for
most of that time in charge of it, died
last Wednesday afternoon at 12:30 at
St. Joseph’s infirmary after a lingering
illness of three months. She was at¬
tacked while at work at her desk in the
Constitution building on Saturday Feb¬
ruary 12
The death of Mies Dooly marks the
passage of one of the south's foremost
women. Known nationwide as being
among the most prominent of American
newspaper women, she tiad extended
the scope of her influence far into
the civic and public life of southern
women and had done much to create a
new and broader field in 'woman’s af¬
fairs.
During the twenty-eight years which
she served on the woman’s department
of the Constitution, most of that time
as director, Miss Dooly took the lead
in the south among those who made
the woman’s department of a news¬
paper climb from the simple recounting
of social affairs into the sphere which
embodied recognition of the civic abil¬
ity of women and urged them to action
in their community life.
