Charlton Heston in "Mister Roberts"?

The New York Times obituary for Heston includes this paragraph:

When they returned to New York in 1947, Mr. Heston got his first big break, landing the role of Caesar’s lieutenant in a Broadway production of Shakespeare’s “Antony and Cleopatra” staged by Guthrie McClintick and starring Katharine Cornell. The production ran for seven months and proved to be the high point of Mr. Heston’s New York stage career. He appeared in a handful of other plays, most of them dismal failures, although his performance in the title role of a 1956 revival of “Mr. Roberts” won him praise.

However, there is no 1956 production of "Mister Roberts" listed on IBDB, for Heston or anyone else.

I guess that either (a) IBDB missed this, (b) the production played somewhere other than Broadway, or (c) someone padded Mr. Heston's resume, and the Times fell for it. Does anyone know which it is?
