Vaughan Taylor gives his attire a discreet once over before facing the camera. He played Angele, the goldsmith, possessor of the crucial chain.

Confusion of identity begins: the Merchant (Edwin Cooper), Angelo (Vaughan Taylor), Antipholus of Ephesus (James Daly), his Dromio (Kurt Richards).
Video seems to be the ideal medium in which to display Shakespeare. Or perhaps it's Shakespeare who's the ideal writer for video. At any rate, the Bard, needs no more than a good condensation job in order to fit the demands of TV. The Kraft TV Theatre demonstrated this with its production of "The Comedy Of Errors." Done with taste, talent and a feeling for farce, it also marked some milestones in Kraft TV Theatre history: twelve days in preparation, three run-throughs on some days, and two dress rehearsals. Sounds like a lot of work, but there's only one chance to succeed on television. Other distinctions in the TV Theatre's brief history (three years next May): first two-director system, first show to go out over coaxial cable and the first one to present "The Comedy of Errors."
The Kraft TV Theatre is telecast on Wed., 9:00 P.M. EST over NBC-TV.
