The Cinematograph Act of 1909 runs as follows: “This Act shall not apply to an exhibition given in a private dwelling house to which the public are not admitted, whether on payment or otherwise.”’ If the films are not shown for profit, the performance may be claimed to be a purely private one. To avoid any possible interference, however, it might be as well to proceed as follows : Your friends could band themselves together into a club and the subscriptions could be used to pay for the hiring of films. Should any guests who are not members of the club attend the performances, they should do so as guests of a member.
