MtSSlIiDDDS Siamsa is an absolute charmer 9 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE SEEN AMBER HUNT IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS! NOW SEE HER IN HER FIRST RATED MOVE markable singing. The songs are exquisite, and there are songs of unrequited love, work songs, play songs, even a song for the cows heading home at night through the fields, this one ending in a clanking milk- HELD OVER "I predict Cry for Cindy' will be the biggest hit of the year! it's good entertainment, with loads of red-hot sex!" MircSleiem ai Goldstein Mag FULL AIR CONDITIONED I WEST END PUSSYCAT gentle, joyous, funny and, in the remoteness of a lost time, oddly very touching.

There is, for example, the' appearance of a wandering cobbler in the barnyard. He seats himself on a stool and begins to work on a shoe and all the men follow his example. While spitting imaginary nails to the tap-tapping of their hammers, they sing a song Dong as the nails are quickly hammered into the soles of old shoes. Or, later, there is the painterly image of a farmer climbing a ladder to thatch the roof of his cottage while a woman sings beneath him. And, too, there is the strangely compelling "Bonfire Night," the recreation of a pagan festival in which cattle are herded between two fires in a ritualized act of purification by smoke.

Siamsa is divided between wonderful step-dancing (torso erect, arms stiffly hanging, feet and legs doing all the work) and truly re Reprinted from late editions of yesterday's Globe. SIAMSA, The National Folk Theater of Ireland, in an evening of song (in Gaelic) and dance, artistic director Pat Ahem, at the Shu-bert Theater through Saturday. By Kevin Kelly Globe Staff In rough translation from the Gaelic the word "siamsa" means folk entertainment and, by extension, suggests a convivial musical exchange among a group of rural neighbors. In a sense it's a little like a Western hoedown, except the real difference is that siamsa is more than a fiddler's spiral for dancing feet. It has a rich cultural heritage a hoedown can't claim.

Its roots are deeply entwined in a Celtic past and, for this reason, Siamsa has become the label for the National Folk Theater of Ireland.

Karen Black's part is particularly inconsistent; Reed as Pauline Kael once observed, goes on looking like an eggplant. Bette Davis tries to create a Bette Davis character without any Bette Davis lines to work with, so all she can do is puff and snort lot. She used to do the best Bette Davis impersonation in the business in movies like this, but by far the best Grand Guignol eye-rolling is done here by Burgess Meredith and Eileen Heckart who play the sinister owners of the house.

TUES. All SHOWS CHEVY CHASE "TIlNNFI VISION" Cambridge, St0n.hom: WS REVIEW STAGE ing out of the way, let me tell you that the Siamsa program at the Shubert is a charmer, an absolute charmer. Devoted to a reclamation of Ireland's past, the National Theater has created a shrewd, if theatrically thin, framework to bring before us the step-dancing ghosts of a legendary time. What we are watching and hearing (the only words are sung, and in Gaelic) is the daily pattern of a Kerry farm family and their neighbors. Against music played on a set of traditional Irish instruments (the harp, ui-leann pipes, bodhran and a pair of bones rapped together), we follow the chores and pleasures of country life through a full season.

The opening number is a brief and beautiful anthem to the last number is a Harvest Festival Dance. What happens in between is REVIEW- MOVIE Reed keeps remembering his mother's funeral and tries to murder his son; Black turns wispy and distant; Davis begins to decay. The house is exacting its sacrifices, its burnt offerings; even the vines have a malevolent twist. A good horror movie should give you the creeps, but in "Burnt Offerings" the script and the performances give you the creeps as well. The screenplay by William F.

Nolan and Dan Curtis is based on a popular novel by Robert Marasco: It is so vile that METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER prntmi fci REDD PEARL BAILEY IS THAT YOU?"

While some of Siamsa's imagery is myste- rious (kept deep in the dark by its Gaelic), it is still a rare and rewarding experi ence, Irish folk art brought to mind with the hope that it remains indelible. Siamsa is at the Shubert Theater through Saturday night. It is really wonderful and you don't need a shamrock in your heart to appre ciate it. There are 20 or so members in the company, all amateurs, all beyond criticism.

Siamsa means magic. Director Dan Curtis shoots everything from distorting angles and through a lens smeared with Vaseline; Robert Cobert's music tinkles portent. The picture does build to a bloody climax that left the audience screaming, but the sheerest horror in the picture is the version of marital bliss that Black and Reed give us early on. The family is all settled in the house; Black leads Reed into a comfortably appointed study with a prominent typewriter on the desk. Reed looks puzzled.

Black cheerfully says: "Now's as good a time as any to start on your doctorate."
