Old chums compare notes on Scrooge BY PETER FILICHIA
When they met eight years ago on Broadway -- performing in the Russian play "A Month in the Country" -- F. Murray Abraham was a poor doctor named Ignaty Illich Shpigelsky, and John Christopher Jones was a rich landowner named Afanasy Ivanovich Bolshintsov.<br /> Now both are playing a character whose name is much better known to audiences: Ebenezer Scrooge.
