THE SCARAB MURDER CASE.

193033470New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1930. 1930. First edition. This is the so-called "First Issue" with only a single date 1930 on the copyright page. Otto Penzler in his Descriptive Bibliography on S. S. Van Dine says "The capital letter "A" must appear on the copyright page. The "A" was dropped from all subsequent printings the method by which Scribner's identified its first printings from 1930 to 1972." Fine bright tight copy with all lettering on the cloth bright and un-chipped in a fine dust jacket with two tiny closed tears at head of spine. Philo Vance's elaborate murder investigation takes place in a museum of Egyptology. There is a great deal of material on ancient Egyptian art. An exceptional copy and certainly this state is much scarcer than the variant with two dates on the copyright page although the variant state is also scarce. Charles Scribner's Sons, 1930. hardcover

Typed Letter Signed to Lewis E. Gensler from S.S. Van Dine with Western Union Wire from Van Dine to Gensler--1938

193815131938. Typed Letter Signed to Lewis E. Gensler from S.S. Van Dine with Western Union Wire from Van Dine to Gensler--1938 Letter measures 10.5 x 7.25 inches; wire measures 6.5 x 8 inches. Letter is toned with previous folds--very good condition. Wire has chipping and wear to edges and is very toned--good condition. Verso blank on both. Enigmatic letter and telegram between two famed personalities of Hollywood S.S. Van Dine Willard Huntington Wright and Lewis Gensler. Willard Wright was an American art critic and social gadfly within entertainment circles but ultimately achieved financial success writing pot-boiler detective novels starring Philo Vance under the pseudonym of S.S. Van Dine. Lewis Gensler's work spanned both coasts as a composer songwriter author and producer. He often incorporated his songs into films he produced. His movie "College Swing" starring George Burns Gracie Allen Martha Raye and Bob Hope is referenced in Van Dine's letter. Gensler primarily was associated with Paramount Pictures. Van Dine humorously writes in the undated letter "We ironed out a few details straightened a couple of incipient kinks and beat the shell game by lifting the hat hiding what seemed to be the most promising idea." Van Dine had just had a lunch date with a "Mr. Holman" who likely worked with Lewis Gensler. The telegram dated Feb. 24 1938 sent the day before Van Dine was to meet Holman states "Outline going first rate and licking nicely with a double snapper. With no more Jack Louis fights scheduled hereabouts and all the local racetracks closed you should have a first draft in a week or ten days." In the early 1930's Van Dine wrote screen treatments for Warner Brothers including 12 two-reel "murder mystery" short films. Piecing the dates together we surmise Van Dine was writing the screenplay for the "Gracie Allen Murder Case" his last novel. The novel published in 1938 was released as a movie produced by Paramount Pictures shortly after Van Dine would pass away in April 1939. unknown

Benson Murder Case

19281095801928. Signed. WRIGHT Willard Huntington VAN DINE S.S. The Benson Murder Case. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1928. Octavo contemporary three-quarter green crushed morocco elaborately gilt-decorated spine raised bands decorative endpapers top edge gilt. $1400.Third edition of the first Philo Vance novel by legendary critic and editor Willard Wright under the pseudonym of S.S.Van Dine a Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone mystery a splendid presentation copy inscribed by him to his close friend ""To Norbert L. Lederer. In memory of Hopatcong and the Uberbrettl movementthe place and the subject which resulted in our friendship. S.S. Van Dine New York.""Lederer the recipient of this distinctive copy was a close friend of Wright who published his Philo Vance series under the pseudonym of S.S. Van Dine. When Wright was ordered to take a break from overwork Lederer stepped in and told his friend to instead ""devote his life to writing crime novels"" Sanchez Jose Raul Capablanca 276. Lederer offered Wright access to his ""vast collection of detective fiction. Wright then read all of the authors of crime fiction old and new and decided he could do better"" Backer Mystery Movie Series 5-6. As Wright began working on Benson Murder Case the first Philo Vance novel he asked Lederer a member of the prestigious Manhattan Chess Club to arrange a meeting with Alexander Alekhine who became the Fourth World Champion of Chess in 1927. Wright used that meeting to gain background for Philo Vance's talent for solving chess-related murders. In 1933 New Yorker magazine reported that Lederer ""gave S. S.Van Dine the chess and mathematical dope for The Bishop Murder Case.""When Wright began ""crafting his influential theory of detective fiction he drafted several story outlines and submitted three to Maxwell Perkins at Scribner's promptly receiving a contract."" Benson Murder Case launched ""what Haycraft has called the ""Golden Age Van Dine's place in the history of the American detective story is secure and important"" Reilly 1415. ""Philo Vance was an American cousin to Lord Peter Wimsey and forefather of many later detectives"" Hardy BFI Companion to Crime 137. At his death Wright was ""the best known American writer of the detective story since Poe His name will endure among the immortals of the literature"" Haycraft 168. Preceded by the 1926 first and 1927 second editions. With page of publisher's advertisement at rear. Reilly 1414. Hubin 414. Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone. See Barzun & Taylor 3268. From the library of Norbert L. Lederer with his bookplate. The ""überbrettl movement"" of Wright's inscription highlights a type of literary cabaret popular in Berlin at the turn of the century; ""hopatcong"" likely refers to an area not far from New York City. The two men shared a keen interest in chess and Lake Hopatcong was the center for major chess tournaments in the 1920s including one in 1926 won by the chess champion defeated by Alekhine in 1927. A suspect in The 'Canary' Murder Case the second Philo Vance novel complains of getting ticketed for speeding while ""driving down to Hopatcong.""Text fine lightest edge-wear faint toning to spine. An about-fine presentation copy. hardcover
