''The Man from M.A.R.S.'' is a 1922 silent U.S. science fiction film. It is notable for using the 3-D process called Teleview, similar to today's alternating frame 3-D systems. Shown in 3-D only at the Selwyn theater in New York City, it was previewed as ''Mars Calling'' at a trade and press screening on 13 October 1922,〔''Film Daily''. "Stereoscopic". 14 October 1922:1 (as cited by Henry William Francis Rownd in ("Early 3D: A Case Study", ''Bright Lights Film Journal'', issue 68, May 2010 ), the latter retrieved 2012-11-04)〕 premiered as ''M.A.R.S.'' on 27 December 1922, and ran through 20 January 1923. A 2-D version was distributed as ''Radio-Mania'' in 1923–1924.〔, archive.org copy retrieved 2012-11-04〕 The film was directed by Roy William Neil and photographed by George Folsey. Both the 3-D and 2-D versions are now lost films. ==Plot== This curious picture is a cross between fantasy and science fiction (at least, the 1922 version of science fiction) and features Broadway actors Grant Mitchell and Margaret Irving in their motion picture debuts. Arthur Wyman (Mitchell) is the typical absent-minded scientist. He is in love with Mary Langdon (Irving), the daughter of his landlady (Gertrude Hillman). To help her out, he invents an alarm clock that does not tick (this being long before the days of electronic devices). Using the money he has earned writing an article, Wyman tries to put the finishing touches on a radio that will contact Mars. He falls asleep as he is tinkering with it and dreams that he has gotten in touch with the Martians. They give him a lot of valuable information—he learns a special way to make diamonds from coal, fashion gold from clay, and create steel that weighs "less than nothing." What he learns makes him fabulously wealthy—until, much to his disappointment, he wakes up. But then Mary arrives and tells him that the rights to the "tickless" alarm clock have been sold for a lot of money, so things work out after all.
