The law under which the Board was operating was found to be in-
adequate. A bill, therefore, was introduced and passed by Act of the
Legislature of 1922, Chapter 390, which repealed and re-enacted each
and every section of the original Acts of 1916, 1918 and 1920, with
amendments and changes, conferring additional powers upon the Board
and providing increased penalties for violations of the Act.

The Act of 1929 provides for a new' schedule of fees chargeable by
the Board.

The provisions of the Act do not apply to any non-commercial ex-
hibition of films by religious, charitable or fraternal organizations, or
by any library, school or museum, for purely religious, charitable, fra-
ternal or educational purposes. The Board is authorized to issue per-
mits free of charge to organizations of the above character where ex-
hibitions of films of the above type are to be shown in public places of
amusement, such permits to be issued at the discretion of the Board and
without examination of film. provided proper affidavits of character of
film are made to the Board.
