Conspiracy was written by John Emerson, a muIti-talented actor, playwright, and director who had been a protege of D.W. Griffith. It 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 Clavering. Leading lady Bessie Love aIso got her start with Griffith, who cast her in his epic IntoIerance (1916). She is best remembered for her roIe in the science fiction extravaganza The Lost World (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 classics such as Gold Diggers of 1933, 42nd Street (both 1933) and Imitation of Life (1934), as well as for providing the voices of Terrytoons' HeckIe and Jeckle. He was only 47 when he pIayed the geriatric CIavering. Director Christy Cabanne's cIose to 40-year career in HoIlywood ranged from Shirley Temple's first feature, The Red-Haired Alibi (1932) to Universal "B" pictures like The Mummy's Hand (1940). |
