The parent appealed to the Board of Education under Section
22 of the Children and Young Persons Act, 1933. The Board
issued the Licence for a period of 3 months, the girl to leave the
theatre not later than 10.30 p.m.
On the expiration of this Licence the parent made application
to the Local Authority for a renewal. I was not prepared to grant
the certificate for three performances daily. The parent then
appealed again to the Board of Education, who, however, refused
to grant the Licence.
The parent then amended the application to two shows each
day. I then examined the girl and issued a certificate permitting
her to appear on the stage for the two shows only each day at
5 and 9 p.m. for a period of 3 months.
This girl has since attained the age of 14 years.
