A magazine 'New Dancers' notice on Amerique and Neville's Ciro's, London engagement, referencing Anna Pavlova's concurrent Covent Garden season (28 Sep-24 Oct 1925) and noting Amerique's rendition of Saint-Saens' 'The Swan' — the same engagement documented in hist_event 19917's 15 October 1925 Evening News clipping.

Why
This also matches the externally documented '1925 — Ciro's, London: Featured attraction' entry in Cool Wisdom Books' compiled chronology.
Reasoning
The piece is contemporaneous ('now performing') and explicitly ties itself to Pavlova's Covent Garden season as a currently-running fact, which independently dates to 28 Sep-24 Oct 1925 — the only Covent Garden season Pavlova gave that year. This also corroborates hist_event 19917's Oct 15, 1925 Evening News (London) clipping of the same pair, which falls within this same window.
c. 1925

Why
The description 'two new dancers ... now performing at Ciro's' fits the start of a first London engagement, consistent with 1925 rather than a later return visit.
Reasoning
The clipping is a contemporaneous nightlife review, not a retrospective — it describes Amerique and Neville as 'two new dancers ... now performing at Ciro's' and complains that Amerique's Saint-Saens 'Swan' competes with Pavlova's own famous version 'with Pavlova dancing at Covent Garden' right now, so the review is concurrent with a Pavlova Covent Garden season (Pavlova had regular autumn Covent Garden seasons through the 1920s). The media's in-house AI dating pass argued 1926 only by borrowing a 'last year' phrase from an unrelated 1927 clip (media:1968), which is weaker than two independent sources (Wikipedia's biography and the corpus's own CWB chronology page) that both place this exact London tour — Ciro's, Winter Garden, Ambassador — in 1925. I am therefore overriding the media's own low-confidence 1926 reading in favour of the better-corroborated 1925, but keep the qualifier at circa/estimated rather than exact since no day-level date survives.
