[MG] Talk bubbles for crossforum theatre

[Michael Allan]

Thanks Alexander,

This drawing of the center came from one of your earlier suggestions:

I like it.  I think it's faster on the uptake than this one:

Your idea of the pizza slices, was that to eliminate the complicated
lines in the center (above), or in the periphery (attached)?  Or both?

(Will reply to your other points, soon.  An, Ji, Th, etc. are
 people's names.)
