the Tent Maker" (~1922), produced by Richard Walton Tully and directed by James
Youngand starring Guy
Bates as "Omar Khayyam", Virginia

(See here). The book starts with a
cover illustration in the style of Maxfeld Parrish, has a movie scene, then several
pages of the poem and film illustrations, ends with advertisements for "Omar
Pearls" [(1)
