Phillips treats period, military and costume plays as refused unless the manufacturer's policy is to produce them, juvenile leads as a possible cause of rejection unless the studio has child actors, and animal plays as a 'waste of postage' unless the producer has trained animals. His reason is availability at the buying studio; he does not give costs. He adds that several manufacturers keep menageries. The advice and the reported practice are the author's statements.
