Scope and content:

Black and white photograph. This seven-reel drama, an outstanding success in its day, lured spectators with its promise of an insight into the "manifold and pictorial grandeurs of Oriental existence." Priscilla Dean played the feminine lead, portraying an unveiled seeker of alms whose character, "despite the open sensuality of the Constantinople setting, remained clean." Wallace Beery appeared as a sheik possessed of a choice harem. Other roles were played by Wheeler Oakman, Eugenie Ford, E.A. Warren, Edward Burns, Nigel de Brulier and Ethel Ritchie. Identity of those seen in this surviving still from the film is not known.
