Looking for an image of Austin "Skin" Young

I have not been able to find much information about the singer Austin "Skin" Young. He recorded quite a bit, but I have never been able to find a picture of him or any biographical information about him.
Does anyone have an image of him they would be willing to share?
Thanks
Daniel

I'm afraid this isn't much to go on, but Austin Young appears in this group photo of the Paul Whiteman Orchestra (right above the "happy new year")

Also, from the same source --
According to what I found online, he died in 1936 of Tuberculosis at the age of 28, which means he was born around 1908 --

Wow, thanks. That's the best thing so far and much better than what I could come up with. Young seemed to be widely recorded but not even a mention in wikipedia or really other sites. Sometimes a mention that he was a singer but pictures seem scarce. I think I might be able to pick something out of these pics.
