Alfred Paul Margis was a French composer and pianist known for his waltzes, songs, and dances. He created many songs during the late 1800s and early 1900s, often using words written by Eugene Hero, Georges Nanteuil, Paul Briollet, Leo Lelièvre, and Maurice de Marsan. Sometimes, Margis wrote music under the names Versanne and Almar. His works include waltzes and marches, which were well recognized during his time. Margis composed several pieces for orchestra as well. Some of these are the "Home Sweet Home: Au Revoir" Waltz Op. 207, the "Paris – Washington" March Op. 53, the "Espiritus Del Vino" Mexican Waltz, and the "Paris-Vienne" March. Other works such as "Pathetic Andante" and "Valse Royale – Roses de France" Op. 23 show his range in composing different types of music for orchestra. He passed away in Paris when he was only 38 years old. One of his waltzes, "One day you deceive me," was featured in the 1930 film Two Hearts. In the movie, it was performed as a song by Geza von Bolváry and sung by the tenor Robert Marino. Among Margis's works, the "Blue Waltz (Valse Bleue)" remains his best-known piece and has been included in various collections such as Valses Old in 1945 and 13 Waltzes of the Belle Epoque in 1955.
