They didn't have any intervals at the Globe, because there was no reason for them. People couldn't take bathroom breaks because there were no bathrooms.

At the Blackfriars, however, the lighting was by candlelight, and so they needed four brief intervals to trim and change the candles as required. This would only have taken a few minutes, but it cemented the practice of dividing the plays into five acts.
