5 May 1957 stated · probable

Source Media 414 ad: This Sunday Morning at 10:30; media clip-date claim is 1957-05-04.

Why No held lecture node matched; the existing event retains both scan occurrences.

Reasoning The clipping occurrence is dated Saturday 4 May 1957 and advertises the appearance for This Sunday Morning, resolving the event to Sunday 5 May 1957. Its OCR is byte-identical to media 140, so it is a second occurrence witness rather than independent textual corroboration.
c. May 1957 estimated · possible

Reasoning The clipping states only 'This Sunday Morning at 10:30', with no printed date. The CWB filename dates the clipping to early May 1957 (Saturday, May 4), which would make the announced Sunday appearance May 5, 1957, but this rests on the filename rather than the clipping's own text.
5 May 1957 estimated · probable

Reasoning Media 1374 is probably dated Saturday, May 4, 1957 by its filename and advertises Neville's appearance for This Sunday Morning at 10:30; the announced Sunday is therefore May 5, 1957, with confidence capped by the filename-derived clipping date.

Why pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 015): Conflates the clipping's own print date (Saturday, the day before) with the announced event date; the clipping itself says 'This Sunday Morning', which is May 5.
~~12 May 1957~~ estimated · refuted

Source Lecture notice, Los Angeles Evening Citizen News, 4 April 1957

Why pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 015): F0977 identifies the printed day as a garbled 'May o' OCR read as 12; the firmly dated ads and the phrase 'ONLY public appearance this season' point to one Sunday, May 5, not a second appearance a week later.

Reasoning The clipping places it on the Sunday immediately preceding Monday May 13, 1957.
