On every theatrical performance or any performance similar
thereto, panorama or any public performance or exhibition of any
kind there shall be paid five dollars for each performance or
twenty-five dollars per week of a continuous performance, if the
public performance or exhibition is given in a permanent building,
and twenty-five dollars for each day and fifty dollars
for each week of a continuous performance if the public performance
or exhibition is given out-of-doors or in a tent or
other temporary structure; provided, that this section shall
not be construed to apply to performances or exhibitions for
charitable, educational or benevolent purposes, and with the
further exception of road or tab shows held in conjunction
with the usual cinema attraction, where the price of admission
for the entire performance does not exceed fifty cents.
But on every such performance or exhibition, attendance upon

streets of the city, there shall be paid twenty-five dollars per day.
