Joseph Brooks was a Theatre manager at the Memphis Theatre, New Memphis Theatre, and Leubries Theatre for about 5 years circa 1875.  This was a pattern for him - repeating in Atlanta, Detroit, several other cities, and finally New York.  This successful internship opened the doors for him in New York, where he became a very prominent Producer and Director.

His daughter Virginia Fox Brooks became an actress of note.
