offered an axtenslv repertoire during
lta aummer aeaaon at th Marquam, but
heretofore, haa confined ltaelf to heavy
dramatlo production. Now will com
a chang and th popular player will
turn their attention to fare.
' "Ar Ton a Maaonr la adapted from
the German. It Was first brousht to
this country several yeara ago and for
three years enjoyed th most phenom
enal success la the east. Bo popular did
th comedy become that the piece was
not taken outside of New Tork until th
third year and then three companies
were sent out There I nothing in "Ar
Tou a Mason V to offend anyone. There
are no aecreta of the order exposed nor
does tha fare find disfavor with mem
bers of th. order. Masons are among
the most enthusiastic admirers of th
play. '". -
According to th plot, a young man
Sromlse his wife that h will Join the
ranona while she la on her vacation.
Instead, h goes out for a good tlm and
forget' aooui joining in oraer unui
her return. - Then when th servant
tell her mlatrese that the husband
been coming home at all hours of th
night, the husband explains that ha was
being initiated. -The Sam day the
wlf a i s mother, father and . slater ar
rive, -Th father haa for year been
playing a card gam en night In the
week and pretending to his wife that
be was attending th Mason lo lodge.
When th father and aon-ln-law meet
each bellevea th other a genuine Ma

About this time a former acaualnt

th Mason and the father sends him
on a wild chase, from which he returns
in time for the big climax. Later a real
Mason want to marry one of tha girls
and through thla aultor the father and
son-in-law ar exposed. ' AH ends well,
however, by th real Mason proposing
tne names or tn two impostors.
"Are Tou a Mason T" is considered on
of th funniest farces on th stage. It
never wears out, for no matter ' how
many times It is keen there Is always
new laugns louna. Tn enaeavors or
the father and son-in-law to prevent
each other ' from - discovering that a
cheat is being practiced leads td some
clever situations. , ' These - continue
