Reasoning Node 4060/scan 1912 states John Murray Anderson originated the Greenwich Village Follies 'six years ago'; GVF began 1919, so 1919+6=1925 for this printed clipping.

Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: pins a specific day from scan 539's filename year-token plus an external, unlisted chronology; no PART 4 anchor backs it; narrower than the clipping's own printed evidence

Reasoning This is a Publix touring stage-show unit (named Publix Singers/Corps de Ballet, alongside Tamiris and other named specialty dancers), not the Atlanta Municipal Opera — no Erlanger or Atlanta reference appears anywhere in the legible text. The 'Dearest Enemy' mention is a career credit for the unit's director, John Murray Anderson (who staged the original 1925 Broadway 'Dearest Enemy' and originated the Greenwich Village Follies), not a current production; the corpus's own AI dating pass conflated this with the Atlanta season's later 'Dearest Enemy' week and should be treated as superseded. The filename identifies the source as the Buffalo Courier, and Cool Wisdom Books' independently compiled chronology gives a Buffalo, NY date of Jan 16, 1926, which is preferred here.

Why compare hist_event 19927's 1926-01-16 claim (filename-derived) -- see merge proposal.

Reasoning John Murray Anderson originated the Greenwich Village Follies in 1919; the clipping states this was 'six years ago', giving 1919+6=1925 for the clipping's own date. This is a different derivation from -- and about a year off -- hist_event 19927's Buffalo-Courier-filename-derived 1926-01-16 for what is otherwise the same underlying clipping; both readings are kept rather than one overwriting the other.
