McCALEB, Justice
(concurring).
I subscribe to the majority ruling. Obscenity, as applied to this case, is defined to be the intentional “Performance by any person, * * * in a public place or in a public manner, of any act of lewdness or "indecency, * * * ” or, stated in another way, a lezvd public performance. The word “lewd” has a broad meaning when used alone but, when associated with the words public performance, it connotes a lecherous, libidinous, lascivious performance, i. e., aentertainment or show tending to excite lustful thoughts. State v. Rose, 147 La. 243, 84 So. 643 and State v. Saibold, 213 La415, 34 So.2d 909.
