BeIasco-"obJect, Matrimony."

"Object-Matrimony," the new comedy
which William A Brady will present at
the Belasco Theater next week, has for
it's authors two men whose names may
be conjured with In the theatrical world
One Is Montague Glass, the second is
Jules Eckert Goodman.
Mr.. Glass first sprang into fame as
the writer OF the Potash and Perlmut-
ter" stories in the Saturday Evening
Post. Since then he has written many
other short stories, but for some time at
least he will be known as the originator
of Potash and Perlmutter." Potash and
Perlmutter in Society,"" called at one
time ABE and Mawruss," followed this,
and the second play also proved popular.
Now comes a third play, not dealing with
the characters Potash and Perlmutter'
but with a similar setting, and straight
forward consecutive story. In this Mr..
Glass has colaborated with Jules Eckert
Goodman.
Mr.. Goodman wrote his first successful
play in 1908, The Man Who Stood Still"
Next Mr.. Goodman wrote The Test"
But his first really big success was
| Mother" Last year he had Treasure
Island" to his credit and this year Mr..
Goodman has scored hit with The
Man Who Came Back" at the Playhouse
in New York.
"Object-Matrimony," the Joint work OF
these two men, promises to be another
success.

SIZE OF ARMY OF
Won MACKENZEN
UNDERESTIMATE

Petrograd, Nov. 2S.-(Via London, Nov.
29).-The size of Field Marshal Won Mac
kenzen's force which crossed the Danube
near Zimnitza and established at least
partial union with Gen. Won Falken-
hayn's army advancing from the north,
was underestmated in the early reports,
according to the most recent information
from Rumania. The full strength of this
group is not yet known, although some
estimates place it at upwards of two di.
visions, with the major part German
troops. But 1t Is evident according to thu
viewpoint here, that the movement can
no longer be called demonstration.
Russian military experts declare that
the fate of Bucharest depends largely
upon the success of the Rumanian left
flank in extricating itself from the diff
cult position created by Won Falken-
hayn's swift invasion from the north, now
made more embarrassing by the deep
penetration of the forces which crossed
the Danube. 1t is believed here that with
the loss of western wallachia, the Ru-
manians will concentrate all their forces
before Bucharest in order to save the
capital.

Berlin. Nov. 2S.-(By Wireless to

representatives of the Entente Allied
governments held at Paris states that
the conference was followed by an in
formal discussion Of the general situa-
tion in which Representatives of the
small powers took part. says the Over
seas News Agency. The report of the
discussion declares:
Belgium, Serbian. Montenegrin and
Italian representatives gave vent to bit
ter feelings against prolongation of
the war by the large powers and against
the way in which the desires of the
small states were UNDECIDED. A former
Portuguese minister stated that 1t
would have been better for Portugal
to have maintained neutrality friendly
to the Entente and that the war COM
pletely ruins Portugal. Representatives
of the small states declared that they
were without influence upon the general
policies of the Entente and said it was
a reproach to neutral powers that they
made no effort to bring about peace but
sought to gain wealth.
Finally, the small powers decided to
repeat this informal meeting after
short interval. No officials. ambassa-
