What Price Glory? was Maxwell Anderson's first successful play, and enjoyed a long run on Broadway in 1924, despite attempts to censor its language. It depicts a rivalry between two Marine Corps officers fighting in World War I.
Maxwell Anderson was an American playwright, poet, and journalist. He won a Pulitzer Prize in Drama in 1933, for Both Your Houses, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for both Winterset and High Tor.
Several of his plays were adapted into successful movies, including Anne of the Thousand Days and Key Largo.
