Frank Alfred Marsales (31 August 1886 - 14 August 1975) was a Canadian composer and musician, best known for his work scoring many classic Warner Bros. cartoons in the 1930s.
Marsales was a symphony musician who became the music director for Warner Bros. Cartoons under the direction of former Disney animators Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising. He scored many classic cartoons in the 1930s, including all Harman & Ising Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. His first credit was for "Sinkin' in the Bathtub", released May 1930 and animated by Isadore Freleng. He composed the music to "Lady, Play Your Mandolin!" (1931), the first of the Merrie Melodies. His last credit for Warner Bros. was in 1933 with "Bosko's Picture Show". He left Warner Bros. when Harman and Ising left the studio, but not with them, missing out on scoring their work at Paramount for the 1933 film Alice in Wonderland. Marsales may have had a hand injury at that time that precluded his composing any music at all.
