Docwmbw 7. 1941 ?AG2IH2I3 Cast of Meet the Wife' Set ' For Annual Ellis Production Something of the "madhouse" atmosphere which tradition associates with the pre-opening night phases of dramatic pro duction, prevailed around the Elks' Temple auditorium as the Elks' show cast went through final rehearsals for "Meet the Wife" which opens Tuesday for a Unions Purchase First Health Bond in State three-night stand. For not only were actors and actresses testing oat their In flections and perfecting their "business," but within easy hearing distance the Elks' or chestra was simultaneously re hearsing Its part of the show to gether with a trio of Willam ette university vocalists who wUl be heard between acts. But that wasn't the worst of it, for backstage, and as often as not on it, the distracting sounds of hammering and sawing were jum bled with the lines of the play, and members of the cast fre quently had to shout to give their companions the next one. Audiences attending "Meet the Wife" will see a brand new stage setting.
