Variety Club of De- troit sure has done it . . . and if the good fortune continues, its "Lights, Camera, Auction" event, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Northland Theatre, plus other events will have 'em lining the sidewalk to get in. Through a quirk of fate, the movie previously booked, the much too serious In Country with Bruce Willis, was taken off the preview list because it will be shown prior to Varie- ty Club's affair. Instead, the local good guys and gals who do so much for children, will have the wonderful romantic comedy, Look Who's Talking with John Travolta, Olympia Dukakis, Abe Vigota and George Segal . . . a fun film about a 35-year-old woman who discovers herself preg- nant and searches to find a proper father for the baby. The changover in flicks is a stroke of luck that Variety Club deserves with its won- drous work in providing assistance to needy children, handicapped and underprivileged. Its list of goodies to be auc- tioned off in Northland Theatre's lobby Wednesday has also grown with a flourish. Detroit Tigers Museum is donating an exact replica of Hank Greenberg's jersey from 1945, complete with his number 5 . . . and autograph- ed by team owner Tom Monaghan, General Manager Jim Campbell and Manager Sparky Anderson. Ted Lange has given a May 1989 script from "Love Boat" on which he is the genial bartender . . . and Charles Nelson Reilly has come up with a leather bound first draft of Hello Dolly . . . He was in the show when it ap- peared at the Fisher Theatre in 1963 . . . Lange is the chauffeur in Driving Miss Daisy now at Birmingham . Theater, and Reilly is its director. Call Barbara Moretsky at Variety to see if tickets are still available . . . 855-6440.
