This three-reel production of the French Pathe studio is notable above its other factors for its unusual photography. In these days this is saying much. There is a strong cast, containing the two leaders of the French stock company, Rene Alexandre and Gabrielle Robinne. Even in the presence of these two the work of M. Magnier as the father of the young man who would marry the daughter of the woman who foolishly lost her money in speculation stands out. It is a remarkably finished performance. An incident of the picture is the sensational fall and wrecking of an aeroplane in close view of the camera. It was a bit of realism that fitted in with the story and materially added to the dramatic value. "The King of the Air" is a strong production. - The Moving Picture World, October 10, 1914
