This article shall apply to the motion-picture film stored in
a building commonly known as a "movie theater" and having a cellulose
nitrate base. The word "film," whenever used in this article, refers
to such film. Cellulose acetate film, bearing the manufacturers' warranty
that it is a safety film or "not dangerous" film, is exempt from these
provisions.

the Fire Prevention Division.
All projection booths shall be constructed to comply with the
New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and applicable
NFPA standards.
Smoking or the carrying of a lighted pipe, cigar, cigarette
or other form of smoking material in any room where such film is stored
or handled is prohibited.
