[SML] Preshow announcement

[Richard Niederberg]

Dear Ben,
It seems that much of the information that they want to be conveyed could
be conveyed by the use of a roll-up Olio Curtain, visually entertaining the
audience at the same time as informing them of what the Powers that Be want
them to know. You can still make announcements.
