Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: September 20, 1872 (resident register) or in 1872 (Google Books) or September 20, 1873 (BnF authorities; IMDb) or in 1873 (Library of Congress; Integrated Authority File) or January 20, 1872 (Google Books).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
