From
Knowing the famous star to be unu of the best posted authorities on wild western history, Vidor called him into Shanghal consultation as he prepared to work upon the adaptation with dialogue of "Billy the Kid, made for him by Wanda Tuchock, Laurence Stallings and Charles MacArthur.
Hart not only passed on the ac curacy of the town of Lincoln, New Mexico, reproduced for the picture. but he leat Vidor a prized possen- sion, the actual gun of "The Kl." given by the outlaw fifty years ago tes a member of the post which cap. tured the smiling twenty-one-year- uld" most dangerous man of the west" at Stinking Springs, New Mexien.
One of the first things fart showed Jahn Mack Brown, who plays Billy, was how the outlaw Inshed the trigger of his gun with black cord. He did not use it shooting the "iron" by llart Imanipulation of the hammer. paino showed Brown how "The Kil" sighted along the second finger of his pistol hand.
