Donna at Capitol Theatre, Taylorsville, IL, Sep 1926

Donna in the News
97 Years Ago
by Don Taylor

“Donna in the News” reports my 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 Daily Breeze (Taylorsville, Illinois) newspaper dated 2 September 1926 that The Donna Darling Revue played at the Capital Theatre on 3 and 4 September 1926.

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:
