Finding them to be boorish and anti-Semitic, she invites them and Gloria to a dinner party at her apartment with Patrick, Babcock, and some of her friends.

AUNTIE MAME TUNES MOVIE
When Agnes returns, she barely remembers the evening, thinking they saw a movie with a wedding scene. She also sabotages O'Bannion's attempted wooing by sending Agnes to a party in her place, lying to O'Bannion that Agnes is a secret heiress. Mame is initially angered by the change in his character, but relents to please him. Patrick announces to Mame that he is engaged to Gloria Upson, a girl approved by Babcock from a " restricted" community in Connecticut called Mountebank. Patrick and Lindsay arrange for a collaborator/ghost writer for Mame, Brian O'Bannion, who rapidly proves to be a fortune hunter. He and her friends persuade her to write her autobiography. After Beau dies while climbing the Matterhorn in 1937, Mame comes home after a prolonged period of mourning to discover the now-adult Patrick gifted her with a dictaphone, typewriter, and secretary, Agnes Gooch. Mame continues to receive letters from Patrick (and vice versa), indicating Babcock is influencing him into a more conventional personality. Despite an attempt on her life by Beau's original betrothed, Mame and Beauregard are married, travelling around the world for their honeymoon. Both are smitten, and he invites Mame to his estate. During one job as a Macy's sales girl, she meets Southern oil baron Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside.
AUNTIE MAME TUNES SERIES
When Mame is bankrupted by the 1929 stock market crash, she takes a series of jobs which end disastrously. When this is discovered, Babcock forcibly enrolls Patrick into his alma mater, preventing Mame from seeing her nephew except during holidays and during the summer. Without Babcock's knowledge, Mame enrolls Patrick in Page's school. Patrick's inheritance is managed by Dwight Babcock, a trustee of the highly-conservative Knickerbocker Bank, who was instructed by Edwin to restrain Mame's influence. Mame quickly becomes fond of Patrick, and aims to give him as broad a view of life as possible. Mame is flamboyant and exuberant, hosting frequent parties with a variety of guests and free-spirited friends including the frequently-drunk actress Vera Charles Acacius Page, who runs a nudist school and Lindsay Woolsey, a book publisher.
Patrick Dennis, orphaned in 1928 when his father Edwin dies unexpectedly, is placed in the care of his aunt Mame Dennis in Manhattan.
