Silent Danish sci-fi about a crew of daring adventurers who fly off to Mars, where white-robed pacifists live in blissful tranquility, subsisting on an all-fruit diet. That's a stark contrast to life on Earth, where World War One was still going on, but it seems a bit boring, just the same, like the old harps-and-angels vision of heaven. The version I saw on YouTube was colorized and looked pretty good.
