     "(d)  A minor under fourteen years of age may be employed or permitted to work in theatrical employment or in harvesting of coffee under circumstances and conditions prescribed by the director by rule; provided that:

     (1)  The work is performed during periods when the minor is not legally required to attend school or when the minor is excused by school authorities from attending school;

     (2)  With respect to employment in harvesting of coffee, the director has determined after a public hearing that sufficient adult labor to perform the work is unavailable; [and]
