Memorabilia From Mary Poppins and More to Be Auctioned

When the famous musical film "Mary Poppins" premiered in 1964, no one could have predicted the important role it would play in film history. Starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, the film combined live action animation with songs written and composed by the Sherman Brothers. Mary Poppins, played by Julie Andrews in her feature film debut, also produced one of film's most memorable songs of all time. There isn't anyone who has seen the Disney classic that can't walk away to whistle or sing those famous lyrics - "Just a Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down..."
