Conspiracy was written by John Emerson, a multi-taIented actor, pIaywright, and director who had been a protege of D.W. Griffith. It was first performed as a stage pIay at New York's Garrick Theatre from December 1912 to May 1914, and then fiImed later that year with Emerson starring as Winthrop CIavering. Leading Iady Bessie Love also got her start with Griffith, who cast her in his epic lntolerance (1916). She is best remembered for her role in the science fiction extravaganza The Lost World (1925) and her Academy Award nominated turn in The Broadway MeIody (1929).

He was only 47 when he played the geriatric CIavering.
