      have executed in duplicate a contract  or  deliver  to  the  parties  as
      herein  set  forth  a  statement  containing the name and address of the
      applicant; the name and address of the employer of the applicant and  of
      the  person  acting  for  such employer in employing such applicant; the
      time and duration of such engagement; the amount  to  be  paid  to  such
      applicant;  the character of entertainment to be given or services to be
      rendered; the number of performances per day or per week that are to  be
      given  by  said  applicant;  if a vaudeville engagement, the name of the
      person by whom  the  transportation  is  to  be  paid,  and  if  by  the
      applicant,  either  the  cost of transportation between the places where
      said entertainment or services are to  be  given  or  rendered,  or  the
      average  cost  of  transportation between the places where such services
      are to be given or rendered; and if a dramatic engagement, the  cost  of
      transportation  to  the  place  where the services begin, if paid by the
      applicant; and the gross commission or fees to be paid by said applicant
      and to whom.  Such  contracts  or  statements  shall  contain  no  other
      conditions  and  provisions  except  such  as  are equitable between the
      parties thereto and do not constitute  an  unreasonable  restriction  of
      business.  Forms  of such contract and statement in blank shall be first
      approved by the commissioner and his determination shall  be  reviewable
      by  certiorari.  One  of  such duplicate contracts or of such statements
      shall be delivered to the person engaging the applicant  and  the  other
      shall  be  retained by the applicant. The licensed person procuring such
      engagement for such applicant shall keep on file  or  enter  in  a  book
      provided for that purpose a copy of such contract or statement.
