Contemporaneous review ('The Red Mill Entrances Big Audience at Erlanger') of the Atlanta Municipal Opera's 1927 production of The Red Mill, the second of the season's eight weekly productions; Amerique and Neville danced a Dutch number.
Date (happened)

estimated · possible · preferred
Why
Companion witness media:1955 is a duplicate scan of the same review, lower OCR/dating confidence.
Reasoning
This is a contemporaneous review (not a retrospective), so it dates the engagement itself. The Atlanta Municipal Opera's 1927 summer season is independently established to have opened Monday, June 20, 1927 with 'The Pink Lady' (hist_event 19893); external research (Cool Wisdom Books' compiled chronology of this pair's career) lists 'The Red Mill' as the season's second production, which — with each of the eight productions running one week, Monday to Saturday — places it in the week of June 27 to July 2, 1927. No day-level anchor is visible in this clipping itself, hence a between range rather than an exact day.

'RED MILL RICH IN COMEDY...the first performance of the second weekly production of the Atlanta Municipal Opera association's...Season was presented at the Erlanger theater' -- Frank Daniel
Reasoning
Media 507's AI-dating pass already matched this exact review text to the 1927 Atlanta Summer Season / Red Mill dated sentence at high confidence; the event itself carried no date claim yet.

R-DANCE clipping mid 563 — printed: "this week"
Why
pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: typed stated but scan 563's OCR prints no year; only 'this week' and an undated June 25 wire item appear.
Reasoning
Date components as printed on clipping mid 563; nothing inferred and no component supplied that the page does not carry.
after 25 June 1927
bound · possible
Source
same physical newspaper page carries an AP wire item datelined 'JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 25' -- (P)-- reporting Governor Martin's stolen car recovered 'Saturday' (25 June 1927 was a Saturday)
Why
circumstantial page-adjacency dating, not a date printed in the Red Mill article itself.
Reasoning
The Red Mill preview itself carries no date, but incidental wire-service filler sharing the same scanned newspaper page is datelined June 25, 1927; the preview almost certainly ran on or shortly after that date, bounding it rather than pinning an exact day from adjacent-column evidence.
1927
estimated · doubtful
Reasoning
Media 1961's metadata dates the clipping to 1927 and the contemporaneous review says Amerique and Neville appeared in the second weekly Atlanta Municipal Opera production. The OCR contains no printed year, so the event year is estimated at the metadata's doubtful confidence.
27 June 1927
estimated · probable
Source
weekday "MONDAY"
Reasoning
Scans 468 and 507 both describe the Red Mill's opening performance as 'Monday evening/night'; anchor A039 places the Red Mill's second week opening Monday 27 June 1927.
1961
stated · refuted
Source
derived from the event's own title: "Neville performs at Erlanger theater, Atlanta (The Red Mill) - clipping 1961"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1961 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events. || v1.1/l1.4/titledate-correct: REFUTED — written in error by my own run v1.1/l1.4/titledate. the number in this title is a CLIPPING/SCAN IDENTIFIER, not a year — the "Amerique and Neville perform" family carries one, and in several the word "clipping" immediately precedes it. Neville danced with Amerique in the late 1920s-30s, so every year my run took from this family is wrong, including the ones that happen to look plausible. This event held no date before that run, so refuting restores its true prior state (undated) rather than leaving a wrong date on display. The row is kept, not deleted, as the record of what the run did.
