Donna in the News
99 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 Sheridan News (Noblesville, Ind.) dated April 3, 1925, I learned that Donna and her Bathing Girl Review played at the Wild Opera House on April 6^th and 7^th.
