Amerique and Neville at the Albee Theatre, Cincinnati (Gilda Gray's revue; The Devil Dancer), opening Sunday 17 June 1928

Frank Aston's Cincinnati Post review (18 June 1928) of Gilda Gray's stage show at the Albee names 'the team, Amerique and Neville' as part of her own dancing revue, alongside 'eight sprightly gazelles'; the screen feature was 'We Americans'.

Reasoning Masthead prints 'CINCINNATI POST, JUNE 18, 1928' (a Monday); the review describes the Albee's opening show as 'Sunday afternoon', so the day worked out is Sunday 17 June 1928.

Source body text: 'the opening show at the Albee Sunday afternoon, Gilda was there in person ... as the star of her own dancing revue ... the team, Amerique and Neville'

Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: the day (17) is worked out from 'Sunday afternoon' plus the Monday masthead, not printed; should be estimated.

Reasoning The clipping's own masthead reads 'CINCINNATI POST, JUNE 18, 1928' (a Monday), and the review describes the Albee show's opening as having happened 'Sunday afternoon' - the Sunday immediately preceding a Monday paper is 17 June 1928. The OCR interleaves two newspaper columns onto single lines, so the wording is reconstructed rather than read cleanly, hence probable not certain.

Reasoning Media 1144 is a June 18, 1928 newspaper page reviewing Gilda Gray's Albee engagement and explicitly naming Amerique and Neville; it directly witnesses the performance in June 1928.

Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: same as 19944's day claim: the day is worked out, not printed, so should be estimated, not stated.

Reasoning Same clipping as node 4067 (masthead 'CINCINNATI POST, JUNE 18, 1928', a Monday); the review describes the Albee show's opening as 'Sunday afternoon', which for a Monday paper is 17 June 1928. OCR interleaves two newspaper columns onto single lines, so the wording is reconstructed rather than read cleanly, hence probable not certain.

Source Neville Goddard Photo Gallery and Newspaper Clippings — Cool Wisdom Books — 276Albee Theatre, Cincinnati ad, media:1141: 'IN PERSON AMERIQUE & NEVILLE... ANDon the SCREEN GILDA... DEVIL DANCER CLIVE BROOK... BEGINNING SUNDAY... COLLEEN MOORE 'Happiness Ahead''. External: 'The Devil Dancer' (Samuel Goldwyn/Gilda Gray) released nationally 19 Nov 1927 (Wikipedia); 'Happiness Ahead' (Colleen Moore, First National) had its confirmed wide release 24 Jun 1928 (Wikipedia/TMDB).

Reasoning This is a contemporaneous theatre-bill ad naming two screen features, so the engagement is bounded by their release windows: it cannot be before Devil Dancer's Nov 1927 national release, and Happiness Ahead is advertised as still forthcoming ('Beginning Sunday'), so it should be at or before its widely-recorded release date. The seven-month span is wide because first-run deluxe circuit houses like the Albee often previewed a major feature weeks before a title's formal wide-release date recorded in film databases, so the true booking could sit anywhere in this window; no narrower date is defensible from the clipping alone.

Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: no 4-digit year is legible in scan 570's OCR; the year matches the scan's catalogue date, not a printed date.

Reasoning The clipping directly bills Amerique and Neville at Albee with The Devil Dancer; its stored clip date supports year 1928 only.

Reasoning The show opened Sunday 17 June (Cincinnati Post, 18 June 1928); the house's next bill, Happiness Ahead (released 24 June, anchor A011), began the following Sunday.
