Posted on 12/12/04: May 2, 1964 Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews are starring in Walt Disney´s “Mary Poppins†at the Granada Theater.
I believe “Mary Poppins” premiered in the latter half of 1964. The May date seems much too early, especially for a town the size of Plainview. Was this a sneak preview screening? Or is 1964 a typo for 1965?
Here is a recent photo of the Granada Twin.
