Liacos, J.
(dissenting). I believe that G. L. c. 272, § 29, is invalid on its face in that it violates art. 16 of the Declaration of Rights. See Commonwealth v. Dane Entertainment Servs., Inc. (No. 1), ante 197, 199 (1986) (Liacos, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part); Commonwealth v. Zone Book, Inc, 372Mass. 366, 373 (1977) (Liacos, J., concurring); Commonwealth v. Trainor, 374 Mass. 796, 807 (1978) (Abrams and Liacos, JJ., dissenting). I would reverse the conviction and order entry of judgment of acquittal for the defendant.
