Mary Poppins Screening Appalachian Theatre, Downtown Boone The Appalachian Theatre of the High Country, in partnership with Allen Wealth Management, is pleased to announce a new Saturday Morning Family Film Series at the historic King Street landmark in downtown Boone. It is being offered free of charge to the general public. Six family-friendly movie classics will be screened over the summer months on select Saturday mornings between June 18 and August 27 beginning at 10 a.m. and will be followed by a tour of the newly-renovated and restored 1938 vaudeville theatre and cinema. Disney’s Mary Poppins is a 1964 musical fantasy based on P. L. Travers's book series of the same name. The film combines live-action and animation and stars Julie Andrews in her feature film debut as a nanny who visits a dysfunctional family in London and employs her unique brand of lifestyle to improve the family's dynamic. Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson, and Glynis Johns are featured in supporting roles. It received a total of 13 Academy Awards nominations, including Best Picture – a record for any film released by Walt Disney Studios – and won five, including Best Actress for Andrews, Best Original Music Score, and Best Original Song for Chim Chim Cher-ee. The film was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally,historically, or aesthetically significant. The film will be screened at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 6.
