Donna Darling at Orpheum Theatre, Tulsa, OK, 10 Sep 1925.

Donna in the News
98 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 find a new venue for my grandmother’s exciting show business career of the 1910s and 1920s. 

This week from the Tulsa Tribune (Tulsa, OK) dated 10 Sep 1925, I learned that “Dona Darling & Girls” played in Tulsa after Oklahoma City.

I reviewed the Tulsa Tribune for articles about Donna but found nothing except for advertisements. Donna’s show began on September 10^th and played for three days.

Because of those newly available online articles, I was able to add another venue for Donna’s exciting vaudeville career: September 10-12, 1925 – Tulsa, OK – Orpheum Theatre – Donna Darling & Girls in “Songs and Steps.”
