Then image features a beautiful close shot of handsome Sheik Ahmed Ben Nesib (Ramon Novarro) with pretty Phyllis "Flip" Murdock (Lola Lane). Affixed to the verso is a paper snipe with the film's original title of She Didn't Want a Sheik. It is in very fine- condition with a two-hole punch along the left edge of the background area and some small scratches simply from handling over time.

The Sheik Steps Out was a low-budget attempt to revive the career of former silent film star Ramon Novarro, which cast him in a role satirizing his former rival for the title of "Latin Lover," Rudolph Valentino.
