Author: Janis Schacht and Neil Kaempfer-Stocker

The official announcement of Alice Cooper's Broadway debut in February (dubbed "Alice At The Palace") had hardly tumbled from the printing presses when the leotard-clad author of "Elected" sprawled on a couch in his manager's Greenwich Village office and began to fantasize about his next titanic project — a film. "Like it's about three o'clock in the morning in this Holiday Inn and there's this guy who's really hungry," said Alice with quiet enthusiasm, "you know, really starved. He goes downstairs and sees this piece of cake laying on the plate. So he rushes over and bites into it and he's about half-way through it when this other guy appears with his mouth a mass of leprous warts and syphilitic scabs and screams 'Don't eat the cake and collapses. And there's the other guy with the cake and he's really freaking," Now the problem is to find a playwright with a strong enough stomach to write the script.
