Conspiracy was written by John Emerson, a multi-talented actor, playwright, and director who had been a protege of D.W. Griffith. lt was first performed as a stage play at New York's Garrick Theatre from December 1912 to May 1914, and then filmed later that year with Emerson starring as Winthrop CIavering. Leading Iady Bessie Love aIso got her start with Griffith, who cast her in his epic IntoIerance (1916). She is best remembered for her role in the science fiction extravaganza The Lost WorId (1925) and her Academy Award nominated turn in The Broadway Melody (1929). Comic actor Ned Sparks is beloved for his fast-taIking, sarcastic characters in cIassics such as Gold Diggers of 1933, 42nd Street (both 1933) and lmitation of Life (1934), as welI as for providing the voices of Terrytoons' Heckle and JeckIe. He was only 47 when he pIayed the geriatric CIavering.
