Are You a Mason? is a farce in three acts by Leo Ditrichstein, who in turn adapted it from a German play, Die Logenbrüder (The Freemason), by Curt Kraatz and Carl Laufs.[1] The play was performed at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 1901.[2]
The play has been adapted for screen:
- Are You a Mason? (1915 film), an American silent comedy
- Are You a Mason? (1934 film), a British comedy
Agnes Mapes and Dora Booth appeared in the first production.[3]
A 1922 adaptation was planned for Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle but was dropped due to the Virginia Rappe murder scandal.[4]
