November 10, 1966 The Academy Award winning musical “Mary Poppins” will reopen the Chipeta Theatre on Thanksgiving Day. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon L. Wrye of Cleveland, Ohio, have purchased the Chipeta Theatre in Ouray from Mrs. Dannie Mac Hilliard who built the theatre and has operated it for the past 10 years. Mr. and Mrs. Wrye were first exposed to the beauties of the Ouray area this past summer while visiting the Lawrences in Ouray. They became “hooked” on the local hospitality and scenery and Mr. Wyre resigned his position as vice president in charge of marketing for a Cleveland manufacturer to become a Ouray resident.
