Six months after starting, a speaker in the same building with a 600-person audience invited Neville onto his platform (paying twenty-five dollars) hoping nerves would ruin him; instead 200 of that audience followed Neville, forcing the management of Steinway Hall to rent him ever larger rooms until he had to move out.

passage 553268 (lecture nid 2115), 'then six months later, a man... invited me to take the platform'
Reasoning
Passage 553268 places the invitation six months after Neville's first lecture. The corpus's own prior npr on this event (23685) already asserts that first lecture began 'in February 1938' but left the six-months arithmetic undone; carrying it forward gives circa August 1938. Kept at possible because that February 1938 premise is inherited from an unresolved prior note, not from a witness visible in this packet.

Qualifying passage ids [526296] belong to telling lecture nids [17]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1972 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1972 is the MIN across telling lectures.

delivery claims on lecture nid 2115: chrome header 'Lecture Date: 14th January 1964' (second independent site) plus Neville's own 'to this very day, in the year 1964'
Reasoning
The lecture recounting this event is dated 1964-01-14 at certain confidence by an independent second-site chrome header, consistent with Neville's own in-lecture statement that the year is 1964; the telling date is capped at that claim's ceiling.
