The film was written by Waller and Richard Ganthony , based on Ganthony's 1899 play A Message from Mars. 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.[2]
