The cameras have scarcely stopped on one scene before he is shouting "Over here!" and pointing out the spot for the next shot. If a script girl should point out that the badman is not carrying the same ivory-handled six-shooter as in a previous scene, Beaudine says with a shrug: "If the audience notices a thing like that, we've made a hell of a boring picture...
