Are You a Mason? explained

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:
