Arthur Margetson (27 April 1887 – 13 August 1951) was a British stage and film actor[1] and radio broadcaster. He was also a composer of music and lyrics, and an impersonator of performers such as G P Huntley, Alfred Lester, and Harry Weldon.
From 1925 to 1949 Margetson crossed the Atlantic, either alone or with his current wife, at least 20 times in several different liners, including the Île de France and the Queen Elizabeth. On 21 August 1924, the French vessel De Grasse transported Arthur and his first wife Rosamund on its maiden voyage from Le Havre, arriving in New York on 5 September.[2]
