   Two scenes from The Conquerors (a drama in four acts) written by the American playwright Paul M. Potter (1853 – 1921), and performed at the St. James's Theatre, London, in 1898.

   The Conquerors is a drama in four acts by Paul M. Potter. The play premiered on Broadway on January 4, 1898 at the Empire Theatre in a performance by the Empire Stock Company.  Initial critical reaction to the work was harsh; with the New York press dismissing the work as "immoral" and a "deliberate endeavor to pander to debased tastes". It was rapidly withdrawn with the intent of rewriting the work's final act. The play was reworked and opened to better reception; becoming one of the hits of the season. It was performed in London at the St James's Theatre in 1898.
