A couple of reviews here questioned the need for an intermission in this film. One called it "unnecessary" and another thought it was meant to sell more stuff at the candy counter. Those could be true, but I think it's more likely that it was needed to load film into the projectors. The 3D films at that time used a two image projection system, often taking up all available projection room space.
If you take a look at the last minute or so of the first half, you'll note that this film has none of those bubble-like cues (those must have had a name, right?) to let the projectionist know that it's time to switch machines. Most likely, the film had to be removed from the projector and replaced with the second half.
I won't bother reviewing the film, itself. The folks here covered it well. Pretty lousy movie. I just wanted to, hopefully, clear up a question that has been burning in everyone's mind for so many years.
