A Message from Mars is a 1913 British science fiction silent film directed by J.Wallett Waller.
The play had been issued as a book in 1912 credited to Lester Lurgan (aka Mabel Knowles) and Ganthony.
[3] The story is similar to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol of 1843, with the theme that the rich should care for the poor.
On Christmas Eve, however, a messenger from Mars comes to Earth to show Parker the error of his ways.
The two of them become invisible and eavesdrop on all the terrible – and true – things Parker's friends and family are saying about him.
