Director Robert Leonard, in No. 8 installment of "The Master Key", introduced an exact replica of the old Toag prison rooms of San Francisco's oncefamous Chinatown with telling effect. The cylindrical trap room, in which Dore and a detective are imprisoned and finally dropped into an underground canal, was constructed under the guidance of "Con" Kelley, an old Chinatown guide, who knew all the nooks and crannies »f San Francisco Chinatown as it was before the fire. Kelley was personally familiar with the workings of the trap room and materially assisted in making the replica an exact duplicate of the original. The room was built of brick, and in general looked when completed like the interior of a factory chimney. Its walls just fitted inside another slightly larger ci»cular wall of brick. Through the walls of the inner and outer chamber there were cut two doors. Dore was placed inside and when a lever on the outside was pulled by a Chinese woman the entire inner compartment, revolving on a disc-like platform, swung about one-quarter way around, leaving each of the doors blocked by the solid brick wall of the outer chamber. Later another lever was pulled and the bottom dropped out of the chamber. The damp, musty walls, reeking with the sweat of the earth, the uneven, dirty brick floor, the little table on which stood a small Chinese smoky oil lamp, all were duplicated from the original trap room, which it was found impossible to photograph because of the fact that it was two stories underground.
