§ 61.01. Public entertainment on Sunday. All legitimate theatrical

performances, concert and recital dances, motion picture exhibitions, or

other public exhibitions, exhibits, shows or entertainment on the first

day of the week are prohibited, except as hereinafter provided.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, or of any general or

local law, it shall be lawful to conduct or participate in any public

entertainment on the first day of the week after five minutes past one

o'clock in the afternoon, to witness which the public is invited or an

admission fee is charged, either directly or indirectly, in a city, town

or village as shall be permitted, by a local law or ordinance heretofore

or hereafter adopted by the common council or other legislative body of

the city, town or village, permitting the same on such day and after

such hour. If in any city, town or village concert or recital dances,

motion pictures or legitimate theatrical productions are now exhibited

on the first day of the week, they may continue to be so exhibited

during such times as the exhibition of such dances, pictures,

productions and performances shall not have been prohibited by a local

law or ordinance heretofore or hereafter adopted by the common council

or other legislative body of such city, town or village.
