One of these deputies. Bob Simpson, presented Fairbanks with his gun, marked with eighteen notches, which in the vernacular of the West spells eighteen killings. "They were all Mexicans," said Simpson to Fairbanks, "who from time to time tried to cause trouble, and the best thing to do was fill them with lead." The gun is now one of Fairbanks' most treasured possessions.
"Talk about the life of 'Wild Bill' Hicock," remarked the star to Director Art Rosson, "this fellow Simpson could give him cards and spades and beat him one-handed."
"Headin' South" is a spectacular production, with its stirring scenes and its great ensembles of people, including hundreds of cowboys and a large band of real Mexicans. The scenario is uniquely developed, presenting a succession of thrills, with Fairbanks doing his utmost to outdo the stunts that made his recent western picture, "The Man from Painted Post," somewhat of a novelty from an acrobatic standpoint. It covers a wide range of territory, from Canada to Mexico, and a great variety of scenery, including snow-capped mountains, forest wilderness, the western plains and the blazing desert.
Catherine MacDonald plays the leading female role, with Frank Campeau, the noted "heavy" of the stage and screen as the arch villain of the story. The scenario was written by Allan Dwan, chief director of the Fairbanks organization, and the photography was in charge of Hugh McClung, Harry Thorpe, Len Powers, Glenn MacWilliams and Charles Warrington, considered the greatest staff of photographic experts in the film profession.
