In a dead heat for first place were Elliott Nugent for his superbly natural sergeant in The Voice of the Turtle, Oscar Karlweis for his delightfully rueful refugee in Jacobowsky.

A great lago can usually steal the show. As a pretty good lago, Jose Ferrer (Key Largo, Charley's Aunt) could not, against Robeson, even hold his own. The result was unorthodox: an Othello that had emotional grandeur, but lacked psychological excitement...
