The title "The Straw Hide" serves as an entrance for the ''Kids" on a straw wagon drawn by a "prop" horse. Some comedy is derived from this, but there the comedy ceases. "The Mischievous Twins" (the two smallest boys, Johnnie Hines and Eddie Parks) and Sal Slocum (Irene Shannon) with Hi Tower (John McCarthy) are supposed to have charge of the laugh department, but only Miss Shannon lives up to expectations.
Lack of preparation end coaching are the glaring faults, the thirteen youngsters employed chasing on and of the stage like a Hock of geese, seemingly without the slightest idea of what is expected of them.
