38. Theatres Regulation Ordinance.—Sixty-one licences were issued under this Ordinance during the year for the holding of various public performances. In some cases, the licences were for performances in buildings specially erected for the purpose; in some cases for existing buildings which were altered as required prior to the granting of licences; and in other cases for performances in the open air.
A sum of $1,412.00 was derived from fees paid in connection with the issue of licences.
In three cases, legal proceedings were taken in respect of contraventions of the Regulations made under the Ordinance with the result that a conviction was obtained in each case, fines amounting to $75.00 being inflicted.
In October, the Theatres Regulation Ordinance, 1908, was repealed, a new enactment under the title of "The Places of Public Entertainment Regulation Ordinance, 1919," being substituted for it. The necessary Regulations under the latter Ordinance were passed by the Governor-in-Council on the 6th November, those under the old Ordinance being repealed.
The new Regulations are similar in many respects to the former ones, but they contain stipulations with regard to the erection of Matsheds for Public Entertainments, and the censoring of Cinema Films and Cinema Posters. Further, the Captain Superintendent of Police has been substituted for the Building Authority as Licensing Authority.
