1919 US trade advice: the authors never set out a formal legal-versus-market distinction. Read together, Ch. XV-XVI show five gates a script faces: the National Board's refusal to pass, local boards and police, patron/exhibitor offence, editors' preference and fit, and cost. The authors' one explicit separation is that passing the Board and a local committee 'does not mean' it is what better-class patrons want, and they then merge prudence with morality ('safe ground ... because it is right'). They cite no statute or court: 'legal*', 'statute*' and 'ordinance*' have 0 hits in lines 7620-8606. This is not a legal analysis.

Curator qualifications: Explicit separation of board approval from audience preference verified; the five-gate layering is the worker's synthesis.
