Donna in the News
104 Years Ago
by Don Taylor
“Donna in the News” reports newly found newspaper articles and advertisements regarding my grandmother, Madonna Montran (aka Donna Montran and Donna Darling). I am always excited when I discover a new venue for my grandmother’s exciting show business career of the 1910s and 1920s.
This week from the Hudson Observer (Hoboken, NJ), dated November 15, 1920, I learned that Donna’s California Bathing Beauties played at the Pastime Theatre, Fourth St., Union Hill.
PASTIME THEATRE

The Surprise of the Season
The California Bathing Beauties

This Galaxy of Girls Played at the Broadway Theatre, New York,

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:
