'''"The Conspirators" (Great Northern), September 16.''' —
A Sherlock Holmes detective story which has a number of
thrilling situations. Perhaps the most interesting is where
the robbers pull a string and drop the detective into some
place unknown. However, he is speedily rescued by the
police, the gang is captured and the unfortunate lawyer is
returned to him family unhurt. And all this came about
through the arch conspirator neglecting to throw away a
telegram he had written to send to his confederates. The
assumption of a number of different disguises by the detective
is a clever bit of work and adds greatly to the interest
of the film.
