“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 Birmingham Post (Birmingham, AL) dated Nov 5, 1923, I learned that Donna played at the Lyric Theatre in Birmingham, Alabama, on November 5th, 6th, & 7th, 1923.
