There was great excitement in the early 20's when the first 3-D movie was released.

The Start of 3-D Movies

The earliest confirmed 3-D film shown to a paying audience was The Power of Love, which premiered at the Ambassador Hotel Theater in Los Angeles on September 27, 1922. The camera rig was a product of the film's producer, Harry K. Fairall, and cinematographer Robert F. Elder. It was projected dual-strip in the red and green anaglyph format, making it both the earliest known film that used the dual strip projection and the earliest known film in which anaglyph glasses were used.
Early in December 1922, William Van Doren Kelley cashed in on the growing interest in 3-D films started by Fairall's demonstration and shot footage with a camera system of his own design. Kelley then struck a deal with Samuel "Roxy" Rothafel to premiere the first in his series entitled Movies of the Future at the Rivoli Theater in New York City .
