Are You a Mason?

Are You a Mason? is a farce in 3 acts by Leo Ditrichstein, who in turn adapted it from a German play, Die Logenbrüder (The Freemason), by Curt Kraatz and Carl Laufs.[1][2] The play was performed at the Shaftesbury Theatre in 1901.[3]

The play has been adapted for screen:

Are You a Mason? (1934 film), a 1934 British comedy film
Are You a Mason? (1915 film), a 1915 silent comedy film

A 1922 adaptation was planned for Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle but was dropped [4] due to the Virginia Rappe murder scandal.
