And
along
the
line
,
the
accountant
who
lived
in
the
same
skin
as
the
inventor
kept
piling
up
the
investments
.
A
piddling
string
of
munition
factories
in
New
York
and
New
Jersey
.
Five
textile
mills
in
New
England
.
Chemical
factories
in
the
bankrupt
and
groaning
South
.
At
the
end
of
the
Depression
his
wealth
had
been
nothing
but
a
handful
of
controlling
interests
,
bought
at
abysmally
low
prices
,
salable
only
at
lower
prices
still
.
At
one
point
Derwent
boasted
that
he
could
liquidate
completely
and
realize
the
price
of
a
threeyear
-
old
Chevrolet
.
There
bad
been
rumors
,
Jack
recalled
,
that
some
of
the
means
employed
by
Derwent
to
keep
his
head
above
water
were
less
than
savory
.
Involvement
with
bootlegging
.
Prostitution
in
the
Midwest
.
Smuggling
in
the
coastal
areas
of
the
South
where
his
fertilizer
factories
were
.
Finally
an
association
with
the
nascent
western
gambling
interests
.
Probably
Derwent
’
s
most
famous
investment
was
the
purchase
of
the
foundering
Top
Mark
Studios
,
which
had
not
had
a
bit
since
their
child
star
,
Little
Margery
Morris
,
had
died
of
a
heroin
overdose
in
1934
.
She
was
fourteen
.
Little
Margery
,
who
had
specialized
in
sweet
seven
-
year
-
olds
who
saved
marriages
and
the
lives
of
dogs
unjustly
accused
of
killing
chickens
,
had
been
given
the
biggest
Hollywood
funeral
in
history
by
Top
Mark
-
the
official
story
was
that
Little
Margery
had
contracted
a
"
wasting
disease
"
while
entertaining
at
a
New
York
orphanage
-
and
some
cynics
suggested
the
studio
had
laid
out
all
that
long
green
because
it
knew
it
was
burying
itself
.
Derwent
hired
a
keen
businessman
and
raging
sex
maniac
named
Henry
Finkel
to
run
Top
Mark
,
and
in
the
two
years
before
Pearl
Harbor
the
studio
ground
out
sixty
movies
,
fifty
-
five
of
which
glided
right
into
the
face
of
the
Hayes
Office
and
spit
on
its
large
blue
nose
.
The
other
five
were
government
training
films
.
The
feature
films
were
huge
successes
.
During
one
of
them
an
unnamed
costume
designer
had
juryrigged
a
strapless
bra
for
the
heroine
to
appear
in
during
the
Grand
Ball
scene
,
where
she
revealed
everything
except
possibly
the
birthmark
just
below
the
cleft
of
her
buttocks
.
Derwent
received
credit
for
this
invention
as
well
,
and
his
reputation
-
or
notoriety
-
grew
.
The
war
had
made
him
rich
and
he
was
still
rich
.
Living
in
Chicago
,
seldom
seen
except
for
Derwent
Enterprises
board
meetings
(
which
he
ran
with
an
iron
hand
)
,
it
was
rumored
that
he
owned
United
Air
Lines
,
Las
Vegas
(
where
he
was
known
to
have
controlling
interests
in
four
hotel
-
casinos
and
some
involvement
in
at
least
six
others
)
,
Los
Angeles
,
and
the
U
.
S
.
A
.
itself
.
Reputed
to
be
a
friend
of
royalty
,
presidents
,
and
underworld
kingpins
,
it
was
supposed
by
many
that
he
was
the
richest
man
in
the
world
.
But
he
had
not
been
able
to
make
a
go
of
the
Overlook
,
Jack
thought
.
He
put
the
scrapbook
down
for
a
moment
and
took
the
small
notebook
and
mechanical
pencil
he
always
kept
with
him
out
of
his
breast
pocket
.
He
jotted
"
Look
into
H
.
Derwent
,
Sidwndr
Ibry
?
"
He
put
the
notebook
back
and
picked
up
the
scrapbook
again
.
His
face
was
preoccupied
,
his
eyes
distant
.
He
wiped
his
mouth
constantly
with
his
hand
as
he
turned
the
pages
.
He
skimmed
the
material
that
followed
,
making
a
mental
note
to
read
it
more
closely
later
.
Press
releases
were
pasted
into
many
of
the
pages
.
So
-
and
-
so
was
expected
at
the
Overlook
next
week
,
thus
-
and
-
such
would
be
entertaining
in
the
lounge
(
in
Derwent
’
s
time
it
had
been
the
Red
-
Eye
Lounge
)
.
Many
of
the
entertainers
were
Vegas
names
,
and
many
of
the
guests
were
Top
Mark
executives
and
stars
.
Then
,
in
a
clipping
marked
February
1
,
1952
