COMING ON THURSDAY. “ARE YOU A MASON?” The ceremony of admitting a new member to a Masonic lodge is a long and dignified : proceeding—and before members can be admitted certain tests have to he undergone, it is understood. But nothing like the tests Sonnie Hale and J. Robertson Hare, as fake masons m the British Dominions release “Are You a Mason?” coming to the Regent Theatre on Thursday, when it will be shown at 2.15 and 8 p.m. devise for the unfortunate Davy Burnaby. This popular star plays the role of John Halttn, a man whose one consuming ambition is to become a Mason. Messrs Hale and Hare have no idea what genuine masonic tests are like, so they decide to make Halton run all the way from the suburbs to Trafalgar Square, counting every step he takes. This occupies most of the film as far as Halton is concerned, but matters are so complicated when he returns that he is abruptly told to go and drown himself—which he tries to do, believing to be another test. Luckily there was not enough water in the lily pond to do the job thoroughly—or Messrs Hale and Hare might have had their worries added to considerably. This is just One of the numberless amusing situations in “Are You A Mason?” Sears may be reserved at Perry’s, ’phone 2496. ;
