50, 100 & 150 Years Ago: January 2023 — **1923, 3-D MOVIES:** “Many attempts have been made to produce stereoscopic motion pictures that have a third dimension, depth. The latest attempt is a simple electrical device through which an audience member views the screen. In the device, a very light, thin aluminum plate spins continually at a high rate. The screen appears to vanish, while the characters move forward through the air to within close range.” Credit: *Scientific American*, Vol. 128, No. 1; January 1923
