Lizzie Borden Trademarked?
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009
In the Monday, August 23, issue of the Fall River Herald News, a story will appear that states that the owners of the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast have successfully trademarked the name Lizzie Borden as it relates to merchandise bearing her name.
SNIP: The trademark will cover items sold by the Lizzie Borden & Breakfast, such as key chains, mugs and clothing from being duplicated and sold in other venues. Woods said it will give customers confidence that products bearing the “Lizzie Borden” name were quality made and come from Fall River.
Woods said he couldn’t comment right now on how he might defend the trademark with local businesses, such as The Fall River Historical Society or others, who may be selling Lizzie Borden merchandise.
I guess I need to run out and trademark a couple of historical figures myself, before they are scooped up!
Lizzie Borden Live’s Saturday Night Success
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009The show is, sadly, over. And the production crew is taking away the set, to be stored, briefly, until the next performance of Lizzie Borden Live in Providence, RI, at the end of October.
The event was a very nice success, with one interesting moment occurring when the fire alarm went off half-way through Saturday night’s performance. The alarm lasted but 60 seconds, and Jill Dalton, the consummate actress that she is, incorporated the interruption into the play . . . and while the Eagle’s owner, Jerry Donovan, was outside convincing the fire and police teams that had come to the rescue that all was well inside, the audience continued to be startled and amazed by this brilliant play.
Congratulations to everyone who made Lizzie Borden Live another great Fall River evening of entertainment.
