Not the same, but in the 40's and 50's there was a whole series of films called Old Mother Riley about the (comic) adventures of a pantomime dame-like character (played by Arthur Lucan) and her daughter Kitty.

Oh right! I remember watching them as a child and finding them hilarious (at the time) - not so sure now though. There are a list of Mrs Riley's "adventures", here:
