§258. Travelling theatrical companies; application of provisions
The provisions of this Part shall not be construed as preventing a minor
under sixteen years of age employed by a travelling theatrical company, from
taking part in a play or musical comedy produced by such company in a theatre
wherein not more than eight performances are given in any one week, (except
in a week in which a national or state holiday occurs when nine weekly
performances may be given), if a special permit for such employment is
obtained from the secretary by the manager of the theatre in which the minor
is to appear. This permit shall be issued only if the minor holds a certificate
from the state or city where the minor resides permitting his appearance in
theatrical performances, and if the secretary is of the opinion that the
employment in such performances is not detrimental to the health or morals of
the minor.
