Advance peeks at "Love Machine" reveal Cooper, at age 49, to come on stronger than ever as a leading man, yet he's terribly enthused about directing "Stand Up and Be Counted" and would like future executive turned down. cf our chairs.

Right back in an executive suite at that studio, waiting for the "Love Machine" verdict' and readying "Stand Up and Be Counted" for the cameras.

It's a Mike Frankovich production in which Jackie makes his debut as a motion picture director. Which only proves you can't New York Four or five years ago, I exposed the insidious INTMS. And I thought we'd be done with them, once and for all. But I was wrong. They're still with us, the INTMS are, and the little stinkers have been joined by other evil companions MSs, IMS, GMS, TAXMS, AND TAX-MISCs.

INTMS, as you'll perhaps recall, are the little type-lice kind of things that appear on your hotel bill, along with charges for "Room," Room service," Valet," "Pool," "Beverages," "Gratuities," and so on. INTMS aren't very big. Whereas "Room" might be $30 each day, INTMS are only 30 cents, or 40 cents, or 60 cents. And, as you queue up to pay your bill, and you notice some insectlike INTMS sprinkled about your bill, and as the taxi is waiting to take you to the airport, you generally don't ask to be introduced to the INTMS. What Are They? "I dunno what the hell they are," a man once told me as he was checking out, "but I guess if they weren't 'sposed to be there, the hotel wouldn't put 'em there." Well, they're 'sposed to be there all right! But whether they should be is another matter! INTMS you should pardon the expression stand for "internal message service." And what does "internal message service" stand for? It stands for the phone calls that you get while you are in the hotel, either from outside the hotel or from another room.

Or and this is the icing on the cake it might even stand for phone calls you DON't get. Either from outside the hotel or from another room. Maybe nobody calls you, but you get INTMS just the same! Now, if you make a call from your hotel room, you naturally expect to pay for it. And it's no surprise to find it on the bill. Unwanted Calls But very few people can see why they should get an INTM just because somebody they don't want to talk to calls them up in their room.

Or, even more last April the New York Attoney General's office filed charges against the hotel, demanding it return more than $100,000 it had obtained from SUND-bagged Debbie Reynolds comes across surprisingly strong. And -Shelley Winters, as always, turns in a first rate acting job. Connie Stevens is doing all right in London.
