Neville and Amerique performed a fourteen-number, eight-week engagement for the Atlanta Municipal Opera Association at the Erlanger Theater over the summer of 1927, dancing in productions including The Pink Lady, The Red Mill, The Blue Paradise, H.M.S. Pinafore, The Count of Luxembourg, Dearest Enemy, The Wildflower, and Pom Pom.
Adjudication: Rows 0 and 2 corroborate the same eight-week Atlanta Municipal Opera engagement at the Erlanger Theater beginning late June 1927, with row 0 giving the fullest primary detail (fourteen-number run, named productions). Row 1 describes a different, earlier production ("The Melting Pot" at the Howard Theater) that preceded the Erlanger run — likely a distinct event folded into this group rather than a competing version of the same one.
Place: Atlanta, Georgia (Erlanger Theater)
Person: Neville Goddard
Ruling: accepted (all claims kept), Rudi 2026-07-23
A 1927 Atlanta profile of the Amerique & Neville dance team adds biographical background: Neville, whose surname is Goddard, had come to America from the British West Indies as a pantomimist seeking a stage career; managers cast him as a 'Valentino type'. His father was a wealthy Barbados merchant with nine sons and a daughter who promised each child career training for whatever career they chose: Cecil (eldest) became a banker, Lawrence graduated McGill intending to study medicine, and Victor studied law and was working in the father's office; Neville, wanting the stage instead, was sent to America true to the promise.
