Beyond cost, what production dependencies (trick animals, child actors, costume, lighting, season and location) does the 1919 manual tell a writer to check against the buying company before writing or sending a script?
1919 US trade advice: the authors tell writers not to rely on resources a studio may not have. Trick animals, capable child actors and costume plays should go only to companies known to have them, lighting effects are left to the director, and winter scripts should lean to studio interiors. The reasons given are availability and expense, not censorship, and the authors say no exact rules exist, so each item is a judgement about a particular buyer.
