Heidi 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. The beloved classic film Heidi concludes the inaugural series at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 27. This 1937 American musical film stars Shirley Temple as the titular eight-year-old Swiss orphan, who is taken from her mountain-dwelling hermit grandfather, Adolph, to live in the wealthy Sesemann household in Frankfurt as a companion to Klara, a sheltered, disabled girl in a wheelchair, who is constantly watched by the strict Fraulein Rottenmeier. When Klara's body and spirits mend under Heidi's cheerful companionship, Rottenmeier sells Heidi to the gypsies, but she is stopped by the police, rescued, and reunited with her grandfather. The film was a success and Temple enjoyed her third consecutive year as number one box office draw.
