Why
Same Erlanger/Municipal Opera 1927 season as hist_event:20045, hist_event:20047 and hist_event:20059.
Reasoning
The clipping is a contemporaneous cast notice, not a retrospective: 'Amerique and Neville, the leading dancers of the company, have three noteworthy opportunities in The Blue Paradise' names it as a current bill alongside other named cast members, in the same run of stock-company notices as the Count of Luxemburg (hist_event:20045) and Pinafore (hist_event:20047) clips from the same 1927 Atlanta season. No per-week schedule for that season was found, so only the season's outer bounds are asserted rather than a specific week.
between June 1927 and September 1927
estimated · possible
Why
Venue not stated in this clipping's OCR; left unset rather than guessed.
Reasoning
The OCR is a contemporaneous cast/rehearsal notice (present-tense, discussing roles as currently being performed), not a retrospective piece, and its field_clip_date is already dated to 1927 at medium confidence from matching a dated list of that Atlanta season's shows. Summer stock/municipal-opera seasons of this era ran roughly June through September, so the engagement is bounded to that window absent an exact week; no external production record for this specific stock mounting of 'The Blue Paradise' was found (it is not a Broadway credit — IBDB/Playbill do not cover regional stock).

media 460 field_clip_date (1927, exact, probable) plus article naming next week's 'H.M.S. Pinafore' as the Atlanta Municipal Opera's follow-on production
Why
pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: typed stated but rests on media 460's field_clip_date verdict, not a year printed in the scan's OCR.
Reasoning
The article's own attached media (460) carries a clip-date verdict of 1927 (exact/probable) reached from the same text (the Blue Paradise/Pinafore sequence under the 1927 Atlanta Summer Season); the article names the closing performance of 'The Blue Paradise' with 'H.M.S. Pinafore' next, matching that dating. Confidence kept at probable, not upgraded.

media 1953 field_clip_date (1927, exact, doubtful)
Why
pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: typed stated but rests on media 1953's field_clip_date verdict, not a printed year; duplicate of 460.
Reasoning
This is a duplicate scan of the clipping already dated (probable) via sibling node 4017/media 460; media 1953's own AI dating pass rated the same 1927 reading only 'doubtful', so that lower confidence is recorded here rather than silently merged into the stronger claim already on this event.

weekday "SATURDAY"
Reasoning
Scan 460 states an afternoon and evening performance 'Saturday' closes the run before Pinafore; anchor A039 places that Saturday as 9 July 1927.
