submit the same film to the Board for re-examination, and finally to
the City Court of Baltimore.
Any person failing to display the approval seal of the Board may
be fined from $5.00 to $10.00, or in default of payment may be sen-
tenced to imprisonment from two to five days.
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legislature of 1922, Chapter 390, which repealed and re-enacted each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,
fraternal or educational purposes. The Board is authorized to issue
permits free of charge to organizations of the above character where
exhibitions 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.
