Sybil Bruncheon’s GREAT MOMENTS IN THE ARTS!!.... On this date, January 27th, 1918, Vaslav Nijinsky, after being hospitalized for repeated attacks of bulimia, premiered his delightful new ballet “TOSS ME, I’M A SALAD!”. Other characters in the corps de ballet included Vinnie Grette, Aunt Chovie, Caesar Dressing, and Kiki the Koo Koo Krouton. Sadly, the critics were savage; the New York Times described the whole production as “wilted”… and “brown in spots”… Nijinsky promptly ate two chocolate cakes off the catering table at the opening night party, and then vomited for three hours.
