Ad for QuickFlicks Videos featured at Circle K convenience stores circa 1987 (and also featured in the background of the movie 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'!)
Sheila Buckmaster as Charlie
'She -- or should I say "he"? -- is back for an encore performance. For the ninth time in the past decade, our dear sister Sheila F. Buckmaster transforms into the true drag king she really is and is enjoying her role in the festivities of Carnevale di Venezia dressed up as her lifelong hero Charlie Chaplin, with whom she shares the same birthday, April 16.
For most of the year Sheila serves as senior editor-at-large for periodicals such asNational Geographic Traveler and the slick house organ of the Global Business Travel Association. But right now the New York City native has taken to partying and courting the belles dames of the haughty and naughty social, cultural and Dionysian scene at Carnevale that is taking place until Feb. 12 in the most beautiful faux-gay city in the world, Venice, Italy.'

At the King’s Theatre, Hammersmith, pupils of Lila Field appeared in The Marriage of Oberon, a masque by Lewis Cornwall with music by Jean Mars, and Love and Kisses, a musical phantasy by Thomas Courtice. Bertie Lockwood appeared in both productions, but for the latter the ‘idea of doubling has no terrors for Bertie Lockwood, and in this piece he is seen in three parts – Jacob (the Cat), the ”Tommy,” and Charlie Chaplin. As the ”Tommy” he sings ”Oh! Oh! It’s a lovely war” in a manner which gained for him a deserved encore on the occasion of our visit.’

An obvious nod to (or blatantly cashing in on the popularity of) IBM computer ads.
