Neville's Monday and Thursday lectures in Los Angeles, September 1957 – June 1958

An extended series of lectures each Monday and Thursday at 8 p.m., on the employment of the imagination, from Monday 9 September 1957 to late June 1958: in the Fine Arts Theater of the Wilshire-Ebell Theater building, and from the autumn at the Ebell Club of Los Angeles. He made Los Angeles his headquarters that year.

Source derived from the event's own title: "Neville's 1957 Monday and Thursday lecture series"

Reasoning The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1957 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events.

Source Release Barabbas and Crucify Jesusdelivery claim d2 on lecture nid 1027 (1957-10-17, stated, certain; independently corroborated by catalog #65, catalog #1117, and a chrome-harvested site dateline)

Reasoning Passage 528124, this event's witness, is Neville describing his regular practice of coming to this platform 'on Monday and Thursday nights' -- the series this event represents. The lecture that contains it (nid 1027) has a certain, triply-corroborated delivery date of 1957-10-17, a Thursday, matching the stated pattern. This is independent, first-party evidence (not catalogue backfill) that the series was running in October 1957, adding month precision to the previously year-only, title-derived claim. Kept probable, not raised to certain, because one dated instance witnesses the series was active then, not its full start/end extent.
