A newspaper notice announces that Neville begins a new lecture series in Los Angeles the following day. For the next four Sundays he substitutes for Dr. Frederick Bailes, Director of the Science of Mind Church, at the Fox-Wilshire Theater (10:30 a.m. services), his opening subject 'The Power of Awareness'; concurrently, Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. for three consecutive weeks beginning June 29, he lectures at the Wilshire Ebell Theater. Bailes returns to the Fox-Wilshire Theater the second Sunday in August.

1953
stated · probable · preferred
Source
derived from the event's own title: "Neville's 1953 Power of Awareness lecture series"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1953 (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.
between 29 June 1953 and 9 August 1953
estimated · refuted
Source
lecture-series notice (node 4208): 'Monday through Friday...for the three consecutive weeks beginning June 29' and 'Dr. Frederick Bailes will return...the second Sunday in August'
Why
pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 013): Range conflates the LA engagement (ending mid-July) with the separate SF season (opens 19 July, closes 9 August).
Reasoning
The notice's own text gives June 29 as the start of the weekday Wilshire Ebell classes and 'the second Sunday in August' as Bailes' return; by calendar arithmetic 1953-06-29 is a Monday and the second Sunday of August 1953 is 1953-08-09, giving the outer bounds of the whole series. The notice carries no year itself, but the same clipping announces the Fox-Wilshire Sunday opening ('The Power of Awareness', the event's described opening subject) as 'tomorrow', matching the independently certain print date of 1953-07-19 for that specific lecture (media 466, media 750), which fixes the year at 1953 and supersedes the previous title-derived year-only claim.
19 July 1953
estimated · refuted
Why
pm-actor-525: CloudThree H005 (judge + check): 19 July 1953 is the opening of the San Francisco Scottish Rite series (media 466 and 750: 'here, July 19, at Scottish Rite Auditorium'), the separate SF season 20497. The notice this event is built on (media 849 / node 4208) is the Los Angeles Fox-Wilshire/Ebell engagement. Node 1002's 19 July delivery date is refuted (PM 7864) and cannot carry it.
Reasoning
The event's own description names the opening subject as 'The Power of Awareness', which is lecture nid 1002's exact title. An independent printed report (media 466, certain) and a newspaper ad (media 750, probable) date that specific opening to 1953-07-19, a Sunday, consistent with the notice's Sunday-morning Fox-Wilshire schedule. Written at probable rather than certain because it rests on identifying nid 1002 as the series' opening lecture, not on a source naming this hist_event directly.
