Reasoning The Stanley ad carries the stage bill of the Variety tour (Amerique and Neville with Leyland and Keller, Harmony Singers), which the Aldine, Wilmington played until 11 August 1926; Variety opened in America on 27 June 1926 (A009). Decision 2: the tour's range is its lead.
c. 1926 estimated · doubtful

Source Neville Goddard Photo Gallery and Newspaper Clippings — Cool Wisdom Books — 247Stanley Theatres circuit ad, media:1112 ('On Stage AMERIQUE and NEVILLE / LELAND AND KELLER Harmony Singers'); corpus AI dating pass links this to the same screen bill as media:1061 ('Jannings/De Putti-era'). External: Emil Jannings & Lya De Putti's 'Variety' (Varieté, 1925 German release) had its US release via Paramount in 1926 — the only major Jannings/De Putti co-starring picture of that era.

Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: Rests on scan 1112's catalogue date (1926, itself doubtful) dressed as a film-identification argument the legible OCR does not confirm.

Reasoning The clipping is a contemporaneous theatre-bill ad, not a retrospective piece, so the screen feature it accompanied dates the vaudeville booking directly — but the OCR crop does not preserve the film title or theatre city (the Stanley circuit operated in multiple Pennsylvania/New Jersey cities), so only the year, not the month or venue, can be recovered via the Jannings/De Putti film identification.
c. 1929 estimated · doubtful

Source Amerique & Neville Goddard (Vaudeville) - Photo Gallery and Newspaper Clippings — Cool Wisdom Books — 98media:557, 'GREATER MOVIE SEASON The Stanley[-directed] Theatres Have Provided For COMFORT COOLNESS Thrill-Packed and Dramatic...' — heavily truncated OCR; no dancer names, film, or city survive in the legible text.

Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: Superseded by the merge; also rests on scan 557's catalogue date (1929, itself doubtful), not printed text.

Reasoning The 'Greater Movie Season' promotional campaign, run by the Stanley theatre chain, is the only identifying detail here; the corpus's own AI dating pass already places this specific national campaign around 1929, which is retained as the best available (low-confidence) estimate given how little text survives.
