Source Neville Goddard Photo Gallery and Newspaper Clippings — Cool Wisdom Books — 161clipping 1026 (also 1911, same text) — contemporaneous vaudeville-trade item, present tense: 'When the dancing act of Amerique and Neville, appearing this week on the vaudeville bill at Loew's Rochester Theater, was at the Palace Theater in New York City several weeks ago, the reviewers of three New York newspapers... remarked on the striking resemblance of Neville... to the late Rudolph Valentino... Zit's Theatrical Weekly [said he] is a dead ringer.' The corpus's own field_clip_date reasoning for this media matches it to a syndicated wire story dated October 1926 (media:1090).

Why Exact day within October not recoverable; 'circa' reflects that this is a syndicated-wire date match rather than the clipping's own dateline.

Reasoning This is a contemporaneous 'this week' trade item, not a retrospective piece — it describes the Loew's Rochester booking as currently running and the Palace Theatre NYC run as having ended 'several weeks ago', and calls Valentino 'the late' (he died 1926-08-23), placing this no earlier than autumn 1926. The corpus independently matches this exact text to a syndicated wire printing dated October 1926 (media:1090), which is adopted here as the month.

Source Neville Goddard - Wikipedia and Photo Gallery — Cool Wisdom Books — 145Trade item, media:1289/1530 (duplicate scans, both already witnesses on this event): 'When the dancing act of Amerique and Neville, appearing this week on the vaudeville bill at Loew's Rochester Theater, was at the Palace Theater in New York... a striking resemblance of Neville... to Valentino...' The fuller duplicate of this same item (media:1911, hist_event:20037) names Rudolph Valentino by his death-era epithet ('the late Rudolph Valentino') and cites 'Zit's Theatrical Weekly'.

Reasoning The comparison to 'the late Rudolph Valentino' only makes sense after his death (23 Aug 1926), and this style of press comparison to the recently-deceased star was most current in the following one to two years, which is why the corpus's own AI pass and this worker both land on a 1926-27 window; no day, month or precise year is printed on the clipping itself, so the claim is fenced rather than pinned to one year. This engagement is 'several weeks' after the Palace, New York booking recorded separately at hist_event:20037.
