Donna Darling at Crescent Theatre, Pontiac, MI, February 13 & 14, 1925.
Donna in the News
100 Years Ago
by Don Taylor
“Donna in the News” is my reporting of newly found newspaper articles and advertisements regarding my grandmother, Madonna Montran (aka Donna Montran and Donna Darling). I am always excited when I find a new venue for my grandmother’s exciting show business career of the 1910s and 1920s.
This week from the Pontiac Daily Leader (Pontiac, MI), dated February 12, 1925, I learned that the “California Bathing Beauties, featuring Donna Darling” played at the Crescent Theatre in Pontiac, Michigan.
I found an advertisement regarding Donna and her show. Also playing was the motion picture “Merton of the Movies” with Glen Hunter & Viola Dana.
Because of those newly available online articles, I was able to add another venue for Donna’s exciting vaudeville career.
New information added to her career list:
Feb 13 & 14, 1925 – Pontiac, Michigan – Crescent Theatre – “The California Bathing Beauties.”
