John Van Druten's gratifyingly sentimental play, based on Kathryn Forbes book Mama's Bank Account, shows how Mama, with the help of her husband and Uncle Chris, bring up their children in their modest San Francisco home during the early years of the 20th century. Mama, a sweet and capable manager, sees her children through childhood, manages to educate them, and helps one of her daughters begin her career as a writer.
