on solely for the benefit of charitable purposes or from which profit is not derived either directly
or indirectly by any person, if such business is exempt from the payment of bank and
corporation taxes by Sections 23701 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, nor shall any license
be required for the conducting of any entertainment, concert, exhibition, lecture or scientific,
historical, religious or moral services whenever the receipts of such entertainment, concert,
