The Masquers Club is a private social club for actors in Los Angeles, California. It was created in 1925 by actors from New York who had left Broadway to act in motion pictures.[1] It was similar to the Lambs Club in New York.[2] The Club produced thirteen short subjects, the most famous of which, The Stolen Jools, featured seven Oscar-winning performers. Raymond Griffith died there in 1957.
