December 25, 1918, was the debut date for "Why Marry?" which was the first play by Jesse Lynch Williams. It was difficult to live up to since it won the first Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1918. Originally titled "And So They Were Married," the play looks at society's view of marriage and love and how the two aren't always the same or even appear to be related. Though the theme could certainly play well today, the actual play may appear dated today with its social references.
