Donna in the News
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 find a new venue for my grandmother’s exciting show business career of the 1910s and 1920s.
This week from the Morning Tulsa Daily World (Tulsa, OK) newspaper, dated Aug 8, 1926, I learned that Donna played at the Orpheum Theater in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
