Amerique and Neville at Loew's Bay Ridge Theatre, Brooklyn (vaudeville bill; film It Pays to Advertise), after 19 February 1931

Loew's circuit-wide theater listing (Brooklyn), showing D.W. Griffith's "Abraham Lincoln" (starring Walter Huston) playing across numerous Loew's neighborhood houses simultaneously; Amerique and Neville appear in person at the Loew's Bay Ridge branch specifically.

Reasoning It Pays to Advertise released 19 Feb 1931 (anchor A021); it sits directly beside "AMERIQUE and NEVILLE" under "Loew's Ace" in one OCR run, so the booking postdates that release.

Source Amerique and Neville — CWB source ephemera [a26915d3f6]media:2125 has no field_clip_date. External: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln_(1930_film) gives a release date of 1930-08-25. The OCR is a circuit-wide Brooklyn Loew's theater-directory listing showing 'Abraham Lincoln, W. Huston' playing simultaneously at numerous branches (Metropolitan, Pitkin, 46th St, Gates, Bay Ridge [OCR 'HAL RIDGE'], Kings, Bedford, Willard), with 'Amerique & [Neville] ... in person' at the Bay Ridge branch specifically.

Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: Dated from Abraham Lincoln's release only; the same Loew's listing (scan 2125) names Fighting Caravans (February 1931) and the Bay Ridge ad (scan 2128) It Pays to Advertise (19 February 1931).

Reasoning The clipping is a contemporaneous circuit theater-page listing of the CURRENT week's bills across many houses simultaneously, not a retrospective, so it dates the actual in-person appearance. A film played this widely across an entire borough's circuit at once is typically in its first weeks of general (non-first-run) release; I bound the estimate to the six-to-ten weeks after the film's 1930-08-25 national release (through end of October) rather than asserting a specific week, since the clipping itself carries no date.
