[The Motion Picture News, 4 April 1914, page 37] “Dope,” the Thanhouser six-reeler, enters upon its second successful week at Weber’s Theatre, New York City, under the auspices of the Continental Feature Film Company. Adverse press reviews ranged opposite favorable ones on the front of the theatre form a striking advertisement of the picture. Continental features are now being shown at five New York theatres — Weber’s, The West End, McKinley Square, The Prospect and the Harlem.
