Amerique and Neville at Keith's State Theatre, New Brunswick, NJ (with the pianist Nelson Waring)

Review, 'Dancing Artists of Very High Class at Keith State Theatre' — Amerique and Neville on the vaudeville bill alongside the film 'Lord Jim' (Paramount, 1925, dir. Victor Fleming, starring Percy Marmont). The venue's local paper appears to be the (Central New Jersey) Home News of New Brunswick, NJ.

Source weekday "SATURDAY"

Reasoning Event 957's secondary compilation source gives Sat 9 Jan 1926 for this venue; passage 98199 confirms the venue text but itself lacks the date (stripping artifact). Falls inside this cluster's Nov1925-Feb1926 Lord Jim window. (anchors: event 957, passage 98199)

Source article body naming the co-billed film 'Lord Jim'

Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: No year is printed on any witness scan; 'stated' is wrong — inferred solely from the film's identification.

Reasoning The clipping runs alongside a review of Paramount's 'Lord Jim' (dir. Victor Fleming, from Joseph Conrad's novel), a film released in 1925; this dates the Keith State Theatre bill to 1925, stronger evidence than the possible-confidence clip_date guesses already on the cited media items.

Source Amerique & Neville Goddard (Vaudeville) - Photo Gallery and Newspaper Clippings — Cool Wisdom Books — 109media:568 (fuller OCR, same text also on media:489), 'Two clever dancing Amerique and Neville, are the b[ig] attraction at the State Theatre...screen version of Joseph Conrad's famous novel, Lord Jim, which Victor Fleming directed for Paramount, has many spectacular scenes...Percy Marmont...Lord Jim'. 'Lord Jim' (Paramount, dir. Victor Fleming) was released in the US in February 1925.

Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: Same issue: inferred from Lord Jim's release, not printed; also cites Feb 1925, conflicting with 20073's Nov 1925 Wikipedia date.

Reasoning The review is contemporaneous with the film it discusses at length as the current attraction alongside Amerique and Neville's dancing act; naming Victor Fleming as director and Percy Marmont in the title role uniquely identifies Paramount's 'Lord Jim' (1925), which had its US release in February 1925. Filename metadata on this same media ('The Central New Jersey Home News...1926...') is a bare year in a filename and is weaker evidence, set aside here in favor of the film-identification evidence, though it likely correctly identifies the venue's newspaper (the New Brunswick, NJ Home News).

Source Amerique and Neville — CWB article clipping [ee339ce02a]media:2121 has no field_clip_date. External: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Jim_(1925_film) gives a national release date of 1925-11-15. The OCR's own title fragment 'The Half Dollar Bill' does not match any known film; the paragraph that follows is unmistakably a Paramount publicity synopsis of 'Lord Jim' (Joseph Conrad novel, dir. Victor Fleming, cast Percy Marmont/Shirley Mason/Noah Beery/Raymond Hatton/Joseph Dowling/Duke Kahanamoku/George Magrill, all matching the real film's actual cast), so I take 'Lord Jim' as the picture actually being announced and 'The Half Dollar Bill' as an OCR misread of the real title or an adjacent, unrelated ad fragment.

Why DUPLICATE WITNESS: media:2121 is also cited by hist_event:19901 ('Amerique and Neville perform at Keith State Theatre - clipping 489,568'), which is NOT in my assigned batch (20045-20093) — left untouched per instructions, flagged here for whoever owns that event.

Reasoning The clipping is a contemporaneous theater-page column reviewing the CURRENT bill ('Two clever dancing artists, Amerique and Neville, are the big star attraction at the State Theatre') and previewing next Monday's new picture, so it dates the actual engagement, not a later retrospective. Circuit houses like a Keith 'State Theatre' typically booked a major Paramount release within weeks to a few months of its national opening, so I bound the claim from the film's 1925-11-15 release date to an estimated outer limit of end-February 1926 for that lag, rather than asserting the exact week.
