Danced the 'Meditation' adagio as featured dancers in the Atlanta Municipal Opera Association's production of Franz Lehar's 'The Count of Luxembourg' at the Erlanger Theatre — the fifth production of the company's eight-week 1927 summer season (opening night, Monday 25 Jul 1927); cast included Claire Madjette, Louis Templeman, Sudworth Frasier, Madeleine McMahon, and Roland Woodruff.

weekday "MONDAY"
Reasoning
Scan 1957 reviews the opening night 'Monday' before 'first nighters', no year printed. A039 places Count of Luxembourg as week 5, Monday-Saturday 18-23 July 1927, one week earlier than the old week-1=27 Jun assumption. (anchors: A039)

Why
Sibling hist_event:20044 (Melting Pot, Howard theater) is described in the SAME clipping as having come first, i.e. before this Erlanger/Count of Luxemburg booking.
Reasoning
The clipping is a contemporaneous newspaper profile, not a retrospective ('Amerique and Neville will make several appearances this week, in Franz Lehar's Count of Luxemburg, at the Erlanger theater') — it datelines the performance to the week it ran, during the Atlanta Municipal/Erlanger summer stock season of 1927 in which Count of Luxemburg was one of several rotating weekly operettas. No per-week schedule for that season could be found (web search turned up only the theatre's Dec 1926 opening, not its 1927 stock-season calendar), so only the season's outer bounds (late June-August) can be honestly asserted rather than the specific week.

Why
pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: computed from a week-1=27 Jun assumption; A039's dated clippings place week 1 at 20 Jun, one week earlier
Reasoning
This clipping is a contemporaneous review of the opening-night performance itself ('a brilliant audience of first nighters'), so it directly dates the engagement rather than merely mentioning it in passing. The exact calendar date is derived, not printed: the season's Monday-opening pattern is independently confirmed in this corpus by hist_event:20041 ('The Wildflower'), whose own review states it was performed 'Monday evening' and was explicitly 'the seventh of the seven weekly premieres of the summer season' — which locks the season's start date. Counting Mondays from a verified 27 Jun 1927 season opening (Pink Lady, week 1) places 'The Count of Luxembourg' (week 5 of 8, per the CWB-documented order) on Monday 25 Jul 1927. Confidence is 'probable' rather than 'certain' because the week-count itself, while internally corroborated, is not printed on this clipping.
