Yes, this is possible. In your page settings, there are two modules
folders and
context. The first controls settings for folders (albums) layout, and the second controls settings for the context of the page itself (title, description, content etc). Each of them have a setting
items, which dictates what items to display, and in what order.
For example, for a parent page with subfolders, you may have:
folders: items:title,description,preview
For a page, you could exclude the description by explicitly setting:
context: items:title,date
