520			_a"Strictly Business: More Stories of the Four Million" by O. Henry is a collection of short stories written during the early 20th century. The book explores the lives of various characters navigating the bustling landscape of New York City, often highlighting themes of ambition, love, and the stark realities of life in the metropolis. The opening story introduces the world of vaudeville, particularly focusing on the duo Bob Hart and Winona Cherry, as they seek success and navigate the intersection of personal aspirations and business partnerships in the entertainment industry. At the start of the book, the narrative centers around the characters of Bob Hart and Winona Cherry, who are both working as vaudeville performers. Bob is captivated by Cherry's talent and sees her as the perfect partner for a sketch he has written called "Mice Will Play." As they discuss the sketch and their ambitions, Cherry reveals her pragmatic outlook on the stage, emphasizing her desire to save money and secure a stable future rather than indulge in the superficial showbiz lifestyle. The opening sets a tone of humor and realism as it delves into the duo’s dynamic, their dedication to crafting a successful performance, and lays the groundwork for deeper themes regarding the aspirations and hard truths of entertainers making a living in a competitive industry.
