The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to motion-picture
exhibitions, with or without charge for admission, conducted under
the direct management of educational or religious institutions; to
motion-picture exhibitions, without charge for admission, given or
held not more than once a week in private residences or in bona fide
social, scientific, political or athletic clubs; or to any motion-picture
exhibitions in which the apparatus for projecting such motion pictures
uses only an enclosed incandescent lamp, only cellulose-acetate or
other slow-burning film of a size of perforation differing from the
standard as used in theatrical machines and is approved by the Fire
Commissioner as being suitable for the use of flammable motion-picture
films.
A.
Before motion pictures shall be exhibited in any manner designated
in the preceding section, there shall be obtained from the Director
of the Office of Licensing a permit for such exhibition.
[Amended 7-18-1996 by L.L. No. 5-1996]
B.
Before the granting of such permit, the premises in which the exhibition
to be held will be inspected by the Fire Department.
[Amended 7-18-1996 by L.L. No. 5-1996]
Nothing contained in this article shall be construed to permit
any person, association or club, except educational or religious institutions,
to hold any motion-picture exhibitions where an admission is charged,
without the payment of a permit fee as provided in this section. Should
a charge for admission be made for any exhibition herein referred
to or any revenue derived therefrom, directly or indirectly, the Director
of the Office of Licensing shall impose a fee for the issuance of
such permit of $25 per month for the period for which the permit is
issued, which shall be paid to the Comptroller.
In the event that such an exhibition shall be presented to an
audience of more than 75 people, all chairs or seats shall be securely
fastened to the floor or fastened together in rows.
The apparatus for projecting such motion pictures shall be contained
in a fireproof booth or enclosure constructed as required by law,
unless the apparatus or motion-picture machine uses only cellulose-acetate
films of a size of perforation differing from the standard as used
in theatrical machines and uses only an enclosed incandescent lamp
and is approved by the Fire Commissioner as being suitable for the
use of flammable motion-picture films.
