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 Columbia Missourian (Columbia, MO) newspaper dated 21 and 22 September 1925, I learned that Donna returned to the Columbia Theater about a year after her 1924 shows.

I have only found advertisements for Donna’s shows on September 21st and 22nd, 1925. Donna had been in Columbia about a year previously and returned with her new show, Donna Darling and Girls – “4 of ‘em 4 Singing and Dancing.”
Because of those newly available online advertisements, I was able to add another venue for Donna’s exciting vaudeville career.
September 21-22, 1925 – Columbia, MO – Columbia Theater – “Donna Darling & Girls.”
