Mame

At the reading of the will of young Patrick Dennis's father, a trustee, Mr. Babcock, reveals that Patrick is to be left in the care of his aunt, Mame Dennis, as well as his nanny, Agnes Gooch. Taking a train to New York City ("Main Title Including St. Bridget"), Agnes and the boy arrive at Mame's home, where they walk into a wild party that Mame is giving for a holiday she herself created ("It's Today"). Patrick asks if he may slide down her banister, then reveals his true identity. Mame introduces the boy to her friends, including a renowned stage actress (and famous lush), Vera Charles .
