Source article dateline fixed to Saturday 11 May 1957 by the media's own dating pass (media:1806); text states the Wilshire-Ebell series opens 'next Monday'

Why Text says only 'next Monday'; the calendar date 13 is computed, not printed.

Reasoning The clipping does not print a calendar date for the opening, only 'next Monday' following its own Saturday dateline (11 May 1957, established independently by the attached media's field_clip_date). Weekday computation confirms 13 May 1957 was that Monday, matching the opening date this event already carries with no source of its own -- this article is the first documentary witness for that date.
