BURBANK THEATER-"Are You a
Mason2' Leo Dietrichstein's clever
farce comedy, made out of German
original and adapted for the American
| stage with all the skill that has made
| this young author-actor famous, will
be revived at the Burbank theater dur
ing the week beginning with matinee
performance Sunday and including also
a matinee Saturday The comedy is a
lively affair which depicts the humor-
Gus misadventures of young man and
his father-in-law. both of whom pre-
tend to be Masons when they are not,
| and both of whom attempt to deceive
| each other as we'll as the women men,
bers of the family. They are compelled
to lie on an average about once
minute and each prevarication seems
to lead to new difficulties. In the end,
as is the happy fashion in farce, the
liars escape retribution and all is well.
| The play was last seen at the Bur-
bank a year ago last February. AT
that time 1t ran two weeks to the
| largest patronage ever accorded farce
in this theater. The current cast shows
few changes of Importance from that
of 1908, the most conspicuous being the
| appearance of William Yerance as
Farmer Holton, and Carrie Clarke
Ward as Lottie, an Irish cook. VIII
