Donna Darling, & Co. at the Hippodrome, Sacramento, CA – June 4-7, 1924.
Donna in the News
100 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, I learned from the Sacramento Union (Sacramento, CA) newspaper, dated June 4, 1924, that Donna Darling Co. presented “Romance” at the Hippodrome in Sacramento.
This ad shows a photo of Donna and a man and that her company was playing “Romance.” A second ad the following day listed “Donna Darling & Co. Madison Square Beauty.”
Because of those newly available online advertisements, I was able to add another venue for Donna’s exciting vaudeville career.
New information added to her career list:
June 4-7, 1924 – Sacramento, CA – Hippodrome Vaudeville – “Romance.”
