Peter Menefee, one of the 12 dancing chimney sweeps supporting Bert, provided some insight into the choreography of the film: After visiting Fontainebleau in France, Travers met George Ivanovich Gurdjieff, an occultist, of whom she became a "disciple". Around the same time she was taught by Carl Gustav Jung in Switzerland. [17] In 1931, she moved with her friend Madge Burnand from their rented flat in London to a thatched cottage in Sussex. [4] There, in the winter of 1933, she began to write Mary Poppins. [4] During the 1930s, Travers reviewed drama for The New English Weekly and published the book Moscow Excursion (1934). Mary Poppins was published that year with great success. Many sequels followed. [17]

This book has the story where Mary permanently leaves Cherry Tree Lane at the end of the book. She opens her umbrella, and it carries her off into the night. The children are happy she kept her promise to stay until the door opened, and they and their parents happily gather round the fire. (Presumably this means the Banks parents have now learned to spend more time with their children, thanks to Mary Poppins’s lessons.) Reginald Owen as Admiral Boom, the Banks' eccentric neighbor and a naval officer. He has his first mate, Mr. Binnacle, fire a cannon from his roof every 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Hillier, Jim; Pye, Doug (May 24, 2011). 100 Film Musicals. Palgrave Macmillan. ISBN 978-1-84457-568-8.
