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 see a new venue for my grandmother’s exciting show business career of the 1910s and 1920s.
This week from The Plain Dealer (Cleveland, OH), dated 25 May 1927, I learned that Donna and her Revue played at the Imperial Theatre in Cleveland.
Donna played at Cleveland’s Hilliard Sq. Theatre on May 20th, 21st, and 22nd. They were then off Monday and Tuesday and began across town at Cleveland’s Imperial Theatre on Wednesday for three more days. The Imperial Theatre is about 12 miles east of Hilliard Square.
Because of those newly available online articles, I was able to add another venue for Donna’s exciting vaudeville career.
New information added to her career list:
May 25-27, 1927 – Cleveland, OH – Imperial Theatre – “Donna Darling Review.”
