In the first few years of the awards, the following performers who won the Tony for a leading role were listed below the title and billed as "with":
Paul Kelly in Command Decision
Martita Hunt in The Madwoman of Chaillot
Shirley Booth and Sidney Blackmer in Come Back, Little Sheba
Julie Harris in I Am a Camera

I'm not trying to be contentious. I'm just trying to figure out exactly how in hell the Tonys determined who were the leads and who were featured or supporting in those early years. It couldn't have been by billing because very frequently billing was ignored. Perhaps each year the committee was made up of different people, who made the rules and ignored what was done the previous year. The other answer is common sense.

Do you know if any rules, guidelines, or parameters were actually codified in writing back in those years?
