While acting in stock in St. Louis, in the summer of 1909, Baggot worked with Marguerite Clark in "Peter Pan" and "The Golden Garter". In the two weeks that remained of the season, he played small roles in "Frou Frou" and "Jenny", which both starred Countess Venturini. When the season closed, he was cast as supporting player with Marguerite Clark in the Schubert touring production of "The Wishing Ring", which was adapted by Owen Davis from a Dorothea Deakin story. Another cast member, Cecil B. DeMille, also staged the play.
