The Pasha's Daughter (1911)

In the vibrant heart of Turkey, Jack Sparks, a youthful American explorer, forms an unlikely friendship with a seasoned Turkish elder. Their camaraderie is abruptly disrupted when the elder is accused of treason and Jack, suspected of being a co-conspirator, is also imprisoned within the ancient, decrepit Turkish jail. Yet, the crumbling fortress is no match for Jack's robust spirit and he escapes, pursued by a relentless armed guard. His sanctuary lies within the confines of the Pasha's opulent palace, where he crosses paths with the Pasha's enigmatic daughter, Murana. Enthralled by the fugitive, she clandestinely shielded him from his pursuers and aids his escape, cloaked in the attire of a Turkish woman. As he departs, Jack suggests Murana abscond with him, but she resists. Leaving behind a trail of longing and a promise encapsulated in a rose, he returns home to America, with little hope of ever reconnecting with the veiled beauty whose name remains unknown to him. Back in the familiarity of his homeland, while reminiscing over his far-flung romance symbolised by the rose, an unexpected visitor arrives. A strikingly dressed woman enters, stirring a sense of recognition in Jack. Initially, he fails to identify her. But when she veils her face, leaving only her radiant eyes unveiled, the puzzle pieces fall into place. It's Murana, the Pasha's daughter, the captivating woman who had stolen his heart in Turkey. She's come to America, not just as a Pasha's daughter, but with a desire to become an American bride.
