Broadway (Manhattan)
In December 1909 Longfellow was in "The Watcher", a play with a psychic theme, staged in Baltimore, Maryland. Written by Cora Maynard, the presentation featured the actors Cathrine Countiss, Percy Haswell, Thurlow Bergen, and John Emerson. It was enacted at the Auditorium Theater, produced by the Shubert brothers. The plot is carried out in four acts and has to do with an impoverished New York family, the Kents. Their mother influences their lives after dying early in the play. In January 1910 the theatrical "drama of spiritism" played the Shubert Theater on 41st Street between Broadway (Manhattan) and 6th Avenue.
