VAN DINE SS. S. S.
The Casino Murder Case
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1934. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. A very good copy with some smudging and light staining in a supplied but sympathetic very good price-clipped dustwrapper with slight internal stains. Inscribed by the author: "To Dr. Hugh Stott Taylor With great appreciation for his gracious assistance and with warm personal regards. S.S. Van Dine." The English-born Taylor was a chemist who spent much of his life at Princeton and who in World War II played a prominent role in the American scientific effort directing a number of research projects and contributing to the development of the atomic bomb with his discovery of the most effective catalyst for producing heavy water. He was knighted by both the Queen and the Pope in the same month. A Chair in chemistry is named for him at Princeton. The inscription would seem to indicate that Taylor provided advice to Van Dine about the novel or at least to Willard Huntington Wright as Van Dine was a pseudonym. A Philo Vance novel filmed in 1935 with Paul Lukas as Vance starring opposite Rosalind Russell in one of her earliest roles. Charles Scribner's Sons hardcover

It was also adapted to a film version in 1934 starring Warren William as Vance. A guest at an estate in northern Manhattan Inwood Hill Park dives into the swimming pool and disappears. His murder brings up references to a mythological dragon which is said to prey on the imprudent but Philo Vance uses his knowledge of both dragons and criminals to demonstrate whodunit. The estate in the novel was based on Tryon Hall built in 1907 by C. K. G. Billings a retired president of the Chicago Coke and Gas Company. In 1917 he sold the mansion to John D. Rockefeller Jr. The mansion burned down in 1926 and Rockefeller developed the property and others into Fort Tryon Park which he then donated to New York City. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "S. S.
