The title of the forthcoming Warner classic, "Lucretia Lombard," has been changed to "Loveless Marriages." It is stated that the reason for this is the fact that movie fans may not be mis- led into believing the photoplay is a costume picture, as "Lombard" is a province in Italy, and "Lucretia" was the first name of the late Madame Borgia. Monte Blue and Irene Rich are starred in the feature. Read the Winnetka Talk Teachers Find Homes: Board Says Thank You!

Wagner, chairman of the commit- tee in charge of locating rooms for teachers, have asked the Talk to give expression to their appreciation of this splendid demonstration of Win- netka's community spirit.
