Mr. Percy, who was in the city Tuesday making arrangements for his show announced that he would feature his daughter, Jessie Mae Percy, in the coming productions. Miss Percy is a graduate of the New Market HS with the class of 1923 and her appearance, here is bound to create considerable interest. The Percy Players will appear under canvas on the vacant lot near the Sales Pavilion and will offer a change of program nightly. A part of the receipts from the entertainments will go toward the purchase of uniforms for the Athens City Band. This musical organization was first organized by the junior department of the Moose and has been renamed. Perry Abbott is directing the band and expects to have the personnel completed within two weeks. - transcribed by kbz
