Newspaper photo caption ('Taking the Life' feature) describing Amerique and Neville, "the well-known dancers", performing a specialty dance in striking costumes at Ciro's.

18 November 1925
estimated · probable · preferred
Reasoning
Media 1875's archival identifier dates the clipping to 1925-11-18 and its caption says Amerique and Neville are appearing at Ciro's; equating the present-tense appearance with the clipping day is plausible but inferential, so the claim is estimated and probable.
c. 1925
estimated · possible
Why
Caption calls them 'the well-known dancers' rather than 'two new dancers' (contrast hist_event:20049's clip, which calls them new) — could indicate a later point in the same engagement, or a distinct later visit; not enough to separate from 1925 with the evidence at hand.
Reasoning
The clipping ('They are appearing in Ciro's') is contemporaneous with the engagement it describes, but carries no printed date, film reference, or other performer's name to anchor a year on its own. I am tying it to 1925 only because that is the sole documented Ciro's-London stint for this act found anywhere (corpus or external); it is equally possible this is a separate, later return visit to the same club that I have no evidence for, so confidence stays at 'possible' rather than 'probable'.
c. November 1925
estimated · probable
Reasoning
Anchor A033 (compiled biography) dates the engagement's start to around November 1925, matching the Nov 18 estimate already drawn from media 1875's BL archival identifier.

Source
derived from the event's own title: "Amerique and Neville perform at Ciro's - clipping 1875"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1875 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events. || v1.1/l1.4/titledate-correct: REFUTED — written in error by my own run v1.1/l1.4/titledate. the number in this title is a CLIPPING/SCAN IDENTIFIER, not a year — the "Amerique and Neville perform" family carries one, and in several the word "clipping" immediately precedes it. Neville danced with Amerique in the late 1920s-30s, so every year my run took from this family is wrong, including the ones that happen to look plausible. This event held no date before that run, so refuting restores its true prior state (undated) rather than leaving a wrong date on display. The row is kept, not deleted, as the record of what the run did.
