1938réf. 15131938. 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

United States Lines was the trade name of an organization of the United States Shipping Board USSB Emergency Fleet Corporation EFC created to operate liners seized by the United States in 1917. The ships were owned by the USSB and all finances of the line were controlled by the EFC. Among the notable ships of this period was Leviathan a contender for largest ship in the world. Eventually the line was sold and went private to continue operating as a transatlantic cargo shipping company from 1921 to 1989 and ocean liners until 1969-most famously United States. The line started with three ships from the tonnage of the failed United States Mail Steamship Company. One of the founders was Kermit Roosevelt son of US President Theodore Roosevelt. Two of the ships America and George Washington were originally German vessels that had been seized during World War I and kept as reparations. Both America and George Washington made New York-Bremen runs while Centennial State ran from New York to London. SS United States is a retired ocean liner built in 1950-51 for the United States Lines at a cost of US$79.4 million equivalent to $829 million in 2021. The ship is the largest ocean liner constructed entirely in the United States and the fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic in either direction retaining the Blue Riband for the highest average speed since her maiden voyage in 1952 and still holds title today. She was designed by American naval architect William Francis Gibbs and could be converted into a troopship if required by the Navy in time of war. United States maintained an uninterrupted schedule of transatlantic passenger service until 1969 and was never used as a troopship. The ship has been sold several times since the 1970s with each new owner trying unsuccessfully to make the liner profitable. Eventually the ship's fittings were sold at auction and hazardous wastes including asbestos panels throughout the ship were removed leaving her almost completely stripped by 1994. Two years later she was towed to Pier 82 on the Delaware River in Philadelphia where she remains today. Since 2009 a preservation group called the SS United States Conservancy has been raising funds to save the ship. The group purchased her in 2011 and has drawn up several unrealized plans to restore the ship one of which included turning the ship into a multi-purpose waterfront complex. In 2015 as its funds dwindled the group began accepting bids to scrap the ship; however sufficient donations came in via extended fundraising. Large donations have kept the ship berthed at her Philadelphia dock while the group continues to further investigate restoration plans. United States Lines, S. S. United States unknown
