Are You a Mason? a Farcical Comedy in Three Acts (1901)

""Are You A Mason?"" is a three-act farcical comedy written by Leo Ditrichstein and first published in 1901. The play revolves around the character of John Paul Bart, a successful businessman who becomes embroiled in a series of misunderstandings and mistaken identities when he is mistaken for a member of the Freemasons. Bart's attempts to prove that he is not a Mason lead him into a series of increasingly absurd situations, including a run-in with a gang of thieves and a visit to a mental institution. Along the way, Bart's relationships with his wife, his business associates, and his own sense of self are put to the test. ""Are You A Mason?"" is a witty and fast-paced comedy that satirizes the social conventions and hierarchies of early 20th-century America, while also exploring themes of identity, perception, and the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
