EXPLANATORY NOTE.

These Regulations apply to the exhibition of films by means of juke-boxes and their purpose is to provide that in such cases a facsimile of the Film Censor's certificate need not be shown on the screen immediately before the film to which it relates. Instead, the serial number of the Film Censor's certificate may be kept displayed in the juke-box in conjunction with the title of the film.
