No, he didn't.

Keaton did though. All but one in his career in the teens and 20's. He couldn't master how to do the pole vault, had to hire a real pole vaulter for the shot. He also did uncredited stunts for friends, often pissing L.B. Mayer when he was working at MGM.

I'm a big BK fan, my son is named Keaton. I was really hoping that BK was going to pop up in some rare footage when I saw this clip. Still cool to see Ruth though. The last section was shot in L.A./Hollywood. They don't have palm trees in NYC.
