Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• construing a film censorship statute, broad on its face, to apply only to “films and views to be shown for an admission charge, except when shown by public associations or institutions which do not operate for profit,” so as to bring the statute within federal constitutional limits
• although censorship statute defined \film” and \view” in broad terms which would literally require a license for a person exhibiting a home movie of his children or for a store selling a scenic slide, the statute was construed as applicable only to films shown commercially for profit
